Singer Nora Jean Wallace Deals Straight Chicago Blues on New ‘Blueswoman’ CD Coming October 30 from Severn Records.

The new album marks one of the last recordings from beloved/acclaimed guitarist Charlie Baty, who passed away unexpectedly in March of this year.

“Well man, I spent over half my life in the streets of Chicago. So, I’ve seen plenty of blues, and I’ve had plenty of blues.”

“We are thrilled to have Bryan Lee as part of the Severn family of artists,” says founder of Severn.
