With the release of 'The Flame,' Denise La Grassa is ready to showcase the immense power and feeling she brings to her songwriting and performances. “The Flame” blends the raw essence of roots-rock, soulful blues, and Americana as the musical bedrock for two profound ideas: the significance of inclusivity in a united nation and the transformative power of immigration, inspired by La Grassa's own family history.
The album encapsulates Denise’s advocacy for social change. The album's title pays homage to the inherent strength that lies within a nation when it looks out for all people, particularly those who have been marginalized.
The new life she breathes into bluesy, soulful, rock is inspired by some of her contemporaries like Beth Hart and the Tedeschi-Trucks Band. But legends like Mavis Staples, Bob Dylan, John Lee Hooker, The Allman Brothers, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe have also had an outsized impact on Denise's sophisticated yet accessible and foot-stomping sound.
