Her powerful voice and her exceptional, sometimes raunchy stage presence, her professionalism and her determination have earned Sandra Hall the nickname of “the Empress of the blues". A native of Atlanta, Sandra Hall grew up nearby in a small town where her grandfather was a pastor. Along with her sister Barbara, she began singing gospel at the age of four, with their grandmother at the piano while their mother was on tour, also singing gospel. Eight years later, the two sisters set up the Soul Sisters and began to sing in clubs. From 1965, Sandra Hall was a singer and dancer in the Exotics, a female group that occasionally opened for artists whose tour passed through Atlanta. This allowed her to rub shoulders with big names in soul and blues, such as B.B. King, Otis Redding, Bo Diddley and Etta James.
After about ten years, her career takes on another dimension and it is now under her name that she sings, tours and records. However, she could not always lead a full-time musical career and was sometimes required to work as a nurse, dancer or stripper. She also makes the choice to take the time to raise her daughter. Despite these intermittences, her career is rich in numerous American but also European tours (Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, France). She has shared the stage with legendary artists such as James Brown, B.B. King, Johnny Taylor, Otis Redding, Bo Diddley, The Temptations, The O'Jays, Etta James, Mavis Staples and Jimi Hendrix.
Sandra Hall recorded the excellent “Showin' Off” (1995) and “One Drop Will Do You” (1997) for Ichiban Records, a major label based in Atlanta. “American Roots: Blues” (Ichiban, 2002) compiles tracks from these albums while “Miss Red Riding Hood” is self-produced from 2001. In the summer 2003, Sandra Hall met with members of Gnola Blues Band starting an intense collaboration that continues today with a series of concerts to major festivals in Italy and Europe. It also resulted in the the release of the album "Red Bone Woman" (2007), eleven tracks of which nine are signed by Roger Mugnaini and Maurizio "Gnola" Glielmo.
Personnel: Sandra Hall (vocals); Maurizio "Gnola" Glielmo (guitar, background vocals); Roger Mugnaini (piano, Hammond organ, background vocals); Tix Cimaschi (bass); Max Bertagna (drums); Max Negri (saxophone); Lilian Stoimenov (trumpet); Sugar Blue (harmonica tracks 1 & 9).
