The Los Angeles Daily News has described award-winning vocalist Janiva Magness as “a superb, powerhouse R&B singer who delivers blues and soul with show-stopping authority.” And her new album What Love Will Do is reportedly amazing.
Magness reaches heights only hinted at in her previous recordings, interpreting new material written especially for her and songs from Little Milton, Tina Turner, Bill Withers, Al Green, Candi Staton, Dorothy Moore and Marvin Gaye. Her impassioned singing takes each song from deep within her being and projects it out directly into the heart and soul of her audience, making What Love Will Do essential listening for blues, roots, rock and soul music lovers everywhere.
In April 2008, Magness traveled to Iraq and Kuwait co-headlining Bluzapalooza, the first-ever blues concert tour to perform for American troops. And this Friday night (June 27, 2008), at 6 PM Magness will perform in Carlsbad’s Stagecoach Park. Don’t miss it.

I heard Ms. Magness for the first time, returning from my job a couple of nites ago. She is so very good! I love her voice and her story of her past on the radio program touched me deeply. Will she ever be coming to south Texas to perform? I live near Austin, Corpus Christi area. I would be on the front row if I could ,(:,lol. best wishes, JZ
