Nominated for a slew of 2013 Blues Music awards, Janiva (JAN-iv-a) Magness set the blues world on its ear with her last album, "Stronger for It." American Blues Scene caled it"dripping with potency," and you can take it from Bettye LaVette: "Hopefully, this recording will bring the rest of the world to Janiva, and then they'll know, like I know, that she's one of the 'real deals' out there." That seems to be how things are working out! Janiva has a powerhouse low voice full of smoke and experience and wisdom. She's one of the hottest acts in the blues world right now, and her live shows are electrifying. Janiva comes to Michigan with a new release, "Original."
