Ann Rabson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ann Rabson (born 12 April 1945, New York[1]) is an American blues vocalist, pianist and guitar player. She is a solo recording artist signed to Alligator Records and is a current member of Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women, an acoustic blues band.
Rabson has been playing and singing the blues professionally since 1962. She also performs solo and with various other bands. Like her contemporaries Rory Block and Bonnie Raitt, Rabson ranks as an important modern blueswoman who has brought tremendous crossover appeal to the genre.[1]
She has been nominated eight times for a Blues Music Award (formerly W.C. Handy Award) as Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year[2]. Her first solo album, Music Makin' Mama, was nominated as Album of the Year in both the Traditional Blues and Acoustic Blues categories, and her composition "Elevator Man" was nominated as Song of the Year.
M.C. Records released Rabson's second solo album, Struttin' My Stuff, in September 2000 to critical acclaim.[1]
