Casaundra May & James

Get ready for a fun evening of Memphis, Chicago, Hokum & Hill Country Roots Blues with one of the best, local Roots Blues Duo, Casaundra May & James! Casaundra May’s vocal stylings remind us of the great singers from the golden age of the Blues - Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, and of course Etta James. But she is no impersonator. To her singing, she brings the honesty and integrity of a life lived on her terms, filled with joys and sorrows. And it blossoms into beauty through her music. James was raised in the Deep South and was schooled in the history of the blues. His National Tricone provides the perfect accompaniment to Casaundra May’s powerful voice, successfully guiding the decidedly Northern singer through the Delta and Hill Country of Mississippi. Together, Casaundra May and James have created a unique and dynamic presentation of the Blues that would be right at home in Mississippi, right here at home in the Skagit Valley.
