“Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts presents SAFFIRE : The Uppity Blues Women - The FAREWELL Tour”Acclaimed acoustic Blues trio adds Rehoboth Beach concert stop on their FINAL tour after a prestigious 25 year career.
The Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach is proud to present the internationally acclaimed, award winning Blues trio SAFFIRE – The Uppity Blues Women on their farewell tour of the United States on Saturday, May 23th beginning at 9:00 PM.
With six albums and hundreds of gigs, this trio of feisty multiracial, middle-aged, acoustic blues femmes (consisting of Ann Rabson, Gaye Adegbalola and Andra Faye) has created a musical legacy with a combination of serious blues songs and comedic novelty songs adored by an immense fan base. SAFFIRE plays original songs and the music of blues women who have inspired them, such as Big Mama Thornton, Ida Cox and Koko Taylor. Their music, both comedic and serious, tends to deal with feminist themes, which has made them very popular outside of traditional blues circles leading them from virtual obscurity to one of the most popular, witty, and just plain satisfying acoustic blues groups on the scene today. Renowned for their ability to tear into their material with passion, dedication, and originality, every song they cover becomes theirs, and their originals blend seamlessly with their unique interpretations.
This is SAFFIRE – The Uppity Blues Women’s final tour. After the end of this American tour, SAFFIRE will disband ending a robust 25 year career sweetened with fond memories and tremendous musical achievements. One lucky audience member will receive a beautiful, full-color SAFFIRE – The Uppity Blues Women The FAREWELL Tour concert poster signed by the trio. Do not miss your last opportunity to witness the blues-infused musical joy that is SAFFIRE – The Uppity Blues Women at the Rehoboth Beach Theater of the Arts.
