Where
does this sound come from? Olga's San Francisco hometown? Her
Austrian parentage? Her "found hometown" of New Orleans?
Mississippi Hill country? Listening to her soulful voice you'd
swear no other soil but the Deep Southıs could have reared this
woman. But the truth swirls in a creative pool that is fed by
all of these streams.
Olga's
debut album, "blues babe," places her firmly at the
vanguard of new blues artists combining innovation with a deep
sense of roots. "blues babe" was recorded and produced
by OLGA at home in New Orleans on an analog 4-track & digital
8-track using Pro-tools these tunes are raw baby! Mastered
by Steve Pelletier. All songs by Olga except "219 Train"
by Buddy Bolden.
OLGA
plays acoustic, electric & classical guitars, tambourine, chimes,
recorder, washboard, tap shoes & slide with an antique silver
knife. As for that sound? Even Olga had "somehow become
convinced that a white girl couldn't sing the blues." People
don't quite believe it when she tells them she's a blues maker.
"Then they hear me and they really can't believe it!"
