Vanessa Collier at The Hamilton Live DC Highlights!
Chuck Levin’s caught Vanessa Collier and Sweet Leda at The Hamilton DC on Wednesday, October 9th for a night of blues, soul, and rock that highlighted two incredible acts from our very own state of Maryland. Everything sounded incredible in this venue. The dim lighting, table service, and extensive soft goods allow the space to become either a quiet listening room or a proper dance floor depending on how the show is structured. Due to its association with the Clyde’s restaurant upstairs, The Hamilton also offers something many venues lack – top notch food! We personally recommend the sushi, pizza, and salads.
Vanessa Collier was born in Texas and raised in Howard County, MD before eventually settling in South Carolina as of late, and it was easy to hear this entire journey reflected in her music. As a band leader, she was commanding and approachable onstage. She is a powerhouse multi-instrumentalist who looked equally at home on vocals, saxophone, and guitar throughout the night. When Collier wasn’t engaging with the crowd, we were most charmed by the interactions of her full band. In keeping with common blues conventions, many songs featured extended instrumental solos and it seemed like all band members were genuinely excited to hear what the other players had to say musically, creating an earnest sense of listening and collaboration that is always unique to live performance.
