Saffire: The Uppity Blues Women
are coming to the Silver Dollar on Friday, March
29th. Their latest CD Ain't Gonna Hush combines
rich melodies, honky-tonk rhythms, spicy lyrics
and the outspoken style that fans have come to expect.
Entertaining and exciting, they bridge the gap
between traditional and contemporary blues.
