Angela LaFlamme

Blues, Smoky Jazz & Spice

With a voice that channels the raw emotion of Etta James, the soulful depth of Billie Holiday, and the powerful presence of Big Mama Thornton, LaFlamme brings her signature blend of midcentury blues, smoky jazz and original tunes with the spice of New Orleans.

Angela LaFlamme heads up a six-piece band from San Francisco that deftly re-imagines some of our favorite music from ’20s through the ’00s into her own swinging sound.

“A fantastic band… sexy and sleek.” —Huffington Post

Being drawn into a new and curious dimension by the magic of film, books, poetry or music
and years of studying the tarnished elegance of Billie Holiday, the whimsical smirk of Fats Waller, the full throttle kick of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the gritty beautiful longings of Tom Waits, LaFlamme has found a way to tell her own stories.
