I heard a few cuts on the radio and was very favorably impressed. I believe this was a few months ago, around the time of the New Orleans Jazz Festival (last weekend of April/first weekend of May), when many new artists come to town, whether booked at the festival or not. The airplay may have been part of promotion for a local appearance -- if so, I missed the live show but certainly enjoyed hearing the recordings.

I thought she was notably young, not old, although I'm just going on what I thought I heard the DJ say, so I could be completely wrong. Is she 61? Or did you mean to type 16?
