Sari Schorr & The Engine Room

NYC – In January 2015 legendary producer Mike Vernon (Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall, Blue Horizon) was invited to receive a ‘Keeping The Blues Alive’ award at the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN. This award was not the only highlight of the weekend for Mike; the second was witnessing the performance of one of the most amazing female blues singers Mike had seen in years – Sari Schorr.

New York Blues Hall of Fame singer and songwriter, Sari is a tornado with blues in her blood. She took the international blues scene by storm as the powerhouse lead vocalist for Blues Hall of Fame guitarist, Joe Louis Walker. Sari has appeared on the Conan O’Brian show, and has toured throughout the US, Europe, Asia and Australia. She has received critical acclaim for her blustery vocals and emotionally-charged performances, and has been described as a modern-day hybrid of Janis Joplin and Tina Turner.

Sari’s album delivers hard- driving blues-rock influenced by the late ’60s British blues movement. Sari, who trained as an opera singer, mixes blues, rock, and soul with concrete melodies and poetic lyrics to striking effect.
