This holiday party is a a co-promotion between WMNF and the Suncoast Blues Society.

Vanessa Collier is becoming a favorite artist for WMNF listeners. Some saw her at Tropical Heatwave, or the WMNF Cruise, or last year’s Tampa Bay Blues Fest.

Vanessa is a captivating and multi- talented blues vocalist, saxophonist, and songwriter, hailing from the world-renowned Berklee College of Music where she earned dual degrees in Performance and Music Production & Engineering. Vanessa demonstrates her skills as a master musician and songwriter, blending her blues background with elements of funk, rock, and soul. Vanessa’s powerful vocals, gritty saxophone solos, and passionate performance create a powerful show not to be missed!

The Legendary JC’s bring a s soul-stirring, old-fashioned R&B/rock n’ roll sound. Vocalist Eugene Snowden echoes Wilson Pickett and Sam Cooke with the band cooking up a steamy, high-energy funky revival.

The Suncoast Blues Society will be collecting Toys for Tots to brighten the holidays for local youth at this event.
