Jordan Valentine & the Sunday Saints

Jordan Valentine has been singing soul, jazz, blues and R&B since the age of 14, when she had her first gig fronting an orchestra lead by Wynton Marsalis. Finding her way to Boston from Pittsburgh, PA, she's become a perennial soul and R&B favorite, winning 2 WFNX/Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll honors as Best R&B Act (with World's Greatest Sinners) and a nomination for a Boston Music Award in 2007. Her high-energy, 8-piece big band The Sunday Saints bring a drum-tight, sharp dressed soul review to the stage in the tradition of Ike & Tina Turner, Lyn Collins and Booker T and the MGs. Performing rare gems and future-classic originals, the band's non-stop performances aptly reflect Valentine’s lifelong passion for the rhythm and blues music of the Delta and beyond, from Stax to Bourbon Street and every whistle stop in between. As the Boston Phoenix wrote, “Valentine… is a veteran of the Bucket of Blood circuit, where five or six sets of hard entertainment is what keeps bikers and other bar beasts from peeling each others’ skins off, and a good singer needs to be able to hold and bend a note in a firestorm of sound–just like she does.” The Saints’ show is part revivalist meeting, part Saturday night sin, and all soul satisfaction.
