Make It Big! Episode 9 - Ida Blue

This week on the show Paul sits down for a chat with Brooklyn-bred blues chanteuse Ida Blue, followed by a phenomenal, intimate performance by her band. If you're a fan of early blues, this is the episode for you! Recorded on location at Freddy's Bar & Backroom in Brooklyn, NY.
"Born and bred deep in Mill Basin, Brooklyn...long and lanky, with gold nameplates and brass knuckles, she proves day-in and day-out that swagger is the name of the game. Ida makes a sweet song sassy, a bitter song rawkus, and a love song raunchy. Her performances are in a class of their own, and Blue is timeless; working as a conduit to give that same quality to the music she shares.
Ida Blue is a female-led Bodega Blues group, with its core emanating from the rich and roaring voice of Brooklyn born Ida herself. With support from members of 'Leon Redbone' and HBO's Grammy winning Boardwalk Empire Orchestra, you'll hear blues as a thunderous stomp that permeates your ears with satiating, sweet coos and a sassy temperament that makes you stand up and applause."
