Want to spend an exhilarating,‘jumpin’ & jivin’ evening of ‘down home’ storytelling and soul-stirring blues music?  
Then, make time to go see Miche Braden as Bessie Smith in“The DEVIL’S MUSIC:  The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith” as sherecounts much of Bessie’slife tale of ‘wonder and woe,’ while belting out the classic songs she was famous for, such “I Ain’t Got Nobody,” and “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out.”  
Bessie’s story does ‘take you back’ if you’re old enough to remember, or heard your older relatives talkabout,“Hooch” and “Rent Parties.” Bessie intersperses her personal, performance and traveling experiences with her band, Jim Hankins as “Pickle,” on bass, George Caldwellon piano, and Keith Loftis on saxophone. (And you won’t believe what he and Bessie do with that sax.  It brings the house down.)  
As a creative actor, playwright, or musician, you would do well to see, and learnhow Miche, along with Joe Brancato(Director), Angelo Parra(Playwright), and Miche(Music Director and Arranger), bring the Bessie Smith story concept to life in a dynamic, 90-minute one-woman show, worthy of its standing ovation performance.
