This high-energy concert showcases Ana’s mesmerizing guitar skills and Vanessa’s prowess on the saxophone, successfully merging musical styles. Tickets are on sale now via etix. Vanessa Collier is an 8-time Blues Music Award nominee and 2-time Blues Music Award “Horn Player of the Year”. A 2013 graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, she’s toured nationally and internationally, released three critically acclaimed albums (2014’s Heart, Soul & Saxophone, 2017’s Meeting My Shadow, and 2018’s Honey Up), and released her highly anticipated fourth album, Heart on the Line, to crowdfunders in May 2020.
