LAKEPORT, Calif. – The legendary Queens of Boogie Woogie take the stage at the Soper Reese Theatre on Friday, April 4, for an unpredictable, high energy night of foot stomping, gotta-dance music.

The show starts at 7 p.m. at the theater, located at 275 S. Main St.

This year's line up of great American boogie woogie piano stylists includes Deanna Bogart, Doña Oxford, Sue Palmer and Wendy DeWitt.  

Upholding the tradition of the original boogie woogie artists from the 1920s and 1930s, such as Albert Ammons and Pine Top Smith, these four women attack the music form with intensity, skill and humor, often playing around and over each other on the keyboard at a breathtaking pace.

Bogart, winner of three consecutive Blues Music Awards, has played for U.S. troops in Iraq, Kuwait and Egypt.

“Blues Wax” describes her as “playing a jumpin’ piano that rollicks with a fast tempo and panoramic solos.”  

Oxford has played with Keith Richards, Buddy Guy, and former Chuck Berry sideman and Father of Rock & Roll piano, Johnnie Johnson. She has toured in Europe, Japan and Canada.

Palmer, notorious for her beehive stint with blues diva Candye Kane, has performed with Marcia Ball, Hadda Brooks and Sonny Leyland and is the winner of the Jim Croce Award for Excellence and Dedication to Music.  

DeWitt, a 2014 International Blues Challenge finalist, is inspired by Otis Spann and R&B legend Hank Ballard. She has played with Charlie Musselwhite and Otis Rush.

The event is sponsored by the Tallman Hotel and Blue Wing Saloon.

Tickets are $25 for table seating, $20 for center loge and $15 for side loge.
