CL RECOMMENDS

CRITIC’S PICK: When someone’s grown up in New Orleans 7th ward, claims to channel Motown, and adds in a dose of soul all her own, you know it’s time for that hip-wiggling, shoulder-shuffling, head bopping and foot-tapping all at once kind of moves In a city known for the best of the best in jazz, blues, and soul, Sierra Green went from busking on the streets to recruiting her own big band (William West on drums, Mike Perez on bass, Paul Provosty on guitar, Brandon Nater on trumpet, Maurice Cade on trombone, and David Ludman on saxophone), to holding a residence on the renowned Frenchmen Street to putting out a critically acclaimed album in a relatively short time. The performance will no doubt reflect the same momentum. — Shannon Marie Tovey

From the venue:

City Winery Atlanta presents Sierra Green & The Giants on Wednesday, September 4th at 8pm!

Sierra Green, a vibrant force from New Orleans, blends timeless soul with contemporary allure. Known as the “Queen of Frenchmen Street,” she started singing in her church choir at age eight and grew up in the city’s 7th Ward, home to legends like Jelly Roll Morton and Allen Toussaint. She rose from humble beginnings to captivate audiences on Frenchmen Street, forming her band, The Giants, and securing residencies in top clubs. In Fall 2023, Sierra and The Giants collaborated with David Torkanowsky, producing a five-song collection that revitalized classics like The Meters’ “Break in the Road.” Recording in Nashville with J.D. Simo, Sierra is enhancing her debut album with sultry guitar, potent horns, and infectious basslines. Poised to leave a mark on the soul music scene, Sierra Green offers unforgettable performances filled with soulful melodies and magnetic presence.
