Peaches Staten is a world class entertainer who is known for jet setting across the continents spreading the joy of blues since 1997 playing many festivals and clubs. She recorded 2 CD's in Europe with Nick Becattini: "Nick & Peaches - Live at Blue Sun" (2001) and "Time Will Tell" (2005). Peaches Staten offers a thrilling mixture of gritty vocals and explosive personality that pulls you into her inner circle, harmoniously delivered in her music deeply rooted in blues and soul with a splash of funk. Real R&B well supported by a very tight band.

Peaches signature and unmistakable sound comes from her playing the Frottoir, and she is an incredibly talented player and surprises the audience when she plays it on boogie blues tunes. She is the last blues artist to do a live recording at the original Buddy Guy's Legends, and her latest CD "Live At Legends" on Swississippi Records got great reviews. Peaches Staten is a product of the Mississippi Delta, and though she was born in Doddsville she grew up in the mix of the thriving Chicago blues scene and was raised on gospel, blues and soul.

Personnel: Peaches Staten (vocals); Nick Becattini (guitar, vocals); Janko Giovannini (bass, vocals); Mario Marmugi (drums); Pewee Durante (keyboards, vocals); Keki Andrei (Hammond organ). Special guest: Sugar Blue (harmonica).

Peaches Staten’s new CD is a blend of blues, funk and R&B that gives the listener a chance to experience a live Chicago Blues show at Buddy Guy’s Legends.

A live recording is a bold risk as it can make or break an artist; they are performing without any electronic devices to hide bad notes or forgotten words. But Peaches Staten knows how to make “live” work to her advantage. Her alto voice is filled with grit, punctuated with Chicago style growls and, at times, velvety. Live at Legends captures Staten showcasing, not only her vocals and songwriting ability, but her stage performance as well. The energy comes across as you visualize her as she interacts with the audience, introducing songs and including a little background that reveals a little something about her life. It’s a party that you can only experience with Chicago blues performers like Staten who do it so well. /Dawn O’Keefe Williams
