Shana Blake's vocal showcase - Tonight (12/10/11) @ The Saloon

Posted by Jeff Hahne on Sat, Dec 10, 2011 at 6:01 PM

As a member of The Near Misses, Shana Blake was always able to showcase her vocals — within harmonies or front-and-center. After a brief detour in the rock outfit Wavy Space, Blake is back in her wheelhouse finding the balance her voice needs in a mix of soul, funk, blues and Southern charm.
