Denise La Grassa
"Rockin' The Castle Theatre" is the latest release to showcase Denise's reputation in Chicago and now central Illinois as a talented songwriter and soulful vocalist of immense power and feeling. 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.
Denise is heading into the studio to record an album of originals inspired by today's political unrest and the #metoo movement. "Sunshine in the Toxic Ballroom" and "Pieces of Peace" from "Rockin' the Castle Theatre" are hints of what's to come on "American Woman."
5-song EP from April 5, 2019 show at The Castle Theatre in Bloomington, IL. John Kregor featured on guitar.
