Denise La Grassa
"Rockin' The Castle Theatre" is Denise La Grassa's latest release to showcase her reputation in Chicago and now central Illinois as a sophisticated yet melodic songwriter, and soulful vocalist of immense power and feeling. "Sunshine in the Toxic Ballroom" and "Pieces of Peace" from the album are hints of what's to come on "American Women," a collection of originals inspired by today's political unrest and the #meToo movement. Her 2009 album "April Dreams" received critical praise from numerous outlets, including Jim DeRogatis of NPR's Sound Opinions. "The Blues Ain't a Color" followed up with even more powerful songs dealing with race and society's maligned.
5-song EP from April 5, 2019 show at The Castle Theatre in Bloomington, IL. John Kregor featured on guitar.
