I have enjoyed Treasa Levasseur's stellar work as Corin Raymonds multi-instrumentalist in The Sundowners for a few years. She's a vibrant headliner in her own right, backed by David Baxter and company tonight, she delivers a lengthy blues-laden show. Vocally she falls between the sweet sound of Billie Holiday (Singing Emma) and the rougher edges of Ella Fitzgerald (Rest of the Ride), with some Ma Rainey jump (Me and My Big Fat Mouth). She's as comfortable crooning as she is belting out a song.
Check out her site for sound samples...she's on tour in rural communities throughout the year.
