Violet Green

Violet Green pays tribute to the great divas who broke taboos and protested against injustice through their music. Experience a performance that opens a treasure chest filled with music and stories about the influence of female artists in modern music history.

Join us on a journey from the smoky piano bars of the American South to the tent performances of vaudeville artists. We meet icons such as Janis Joplin and Mavis Staples, themselves inspired by Bessie Smith and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Get an insight into the lives that shaped pioneers such as Memphis Minnie, Big Mama Thornton, Etta James and many more.

Come and experience a show filled with excitement, warmth and joy of playing, where Violet Green pays tribute to the great divas who paved the way for future generations.
