Boston's DIANE BLUE is a soulful and sassy performer who delivers the goods vocally and through her harmonica ("harp") playing, serving up her own spin on soul, blues and R&B. Juke joint legend Big Jack Johnson dubbed Ms. Blue “A Monster” on the harp after she performed as his guest star at Red's Lounge in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Diane's strong, confident attack and energetic delivery make it nearly impossible to remain in one's chair.
Ms. Blue was nominated for "Best Blues/R&B Act" and "Best Female Vocalist in 2007 by the Providence Phoenix and also nominated "Best Local Blues Act" by Motif Magazine in 2007.
Diane has played harmonica and/or sung with international performers Sherman Robertson of Texas, Luther Guitar Jr. Johnson (former sideman for Muddy Waters), Big Jack Johnson (of Clarksdale, Mississippi) and Irma Thomas (the Soul Queen of New Orleans). In 2008, Ms. Blue toured with the Morblus Band in northern Italy, and subsequently did a New England tour in early 2009 with Roberto Morbioli of Verona, Italy. Ms. Blue returned to the international stage as the featured singer/harmonica player in the summer of 2009 with Roberto Morbioli and the Morblus Band (www.myspace.com/morblus).
