EG KIGHT RETURNS TO THE GRISWOLD AUDITORIUM
Grateful to be alive “The Georgia Songbird,” brings her
solo acoustic show and some new music to Allegan April 25th
NASHVILLE, TN — Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter EG Kight has performed in venues around the globe, and has been a part of fundraising concerts in Germany, Mexico, and Japan. And on Thursday, April 25th, in partnership with Positively Allegan and the City of Allegan, the Griswold Auditorium presents EG Kight as part of The April Series: Live Performances.
From Elvis and Johnny Cash, to Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Loretta Lynn, and Koko Taylor, Kight’s influences run deep and wide. Forging her own sound early in her career, her rich vocals have captivated audiences around the globe. Often called “a cross between Bonnie Raitt and Phoebe Snow,” Kight has emerged as a preeminent voice in roots music, writing and performing an eclectic mix of country, americana, blues, southern rock, jazz, gospel, and funk. And she has received various music industry nominations, including six for Female Artist of the Year, three for Song of the Year. Her songs have aired on five major TV networks, and five songs were placed in a movie now airing on Amazon Prime.
After a near-fatal illness on 2011 sidelined her for a while, Kight knew she had to find a way to get back on stage. She had to keep making music, because that’s what feeds her soul. After initially not being able to talk, or walk without help, only a few months after the diagnosis she was on stage performing again. It was a daily struggle, but she kept her faith.
A vicious attack by three pit bulls early in 2018 left her homebound again, tending to the wounds, struggling to walk again. With bandages on the wounds of her arm and both legs, within a month she was on stage again, fighting through the pain, doing what she loves best – making music.
When she’s not on the road, Kight’s at home, writing more songs, and raising her pet goats, on the land in rural Georgia that’s been in her family for four generations. Her roots go deep. She was dubbed “The Georgia Songbird” early in her career, for good reason. Georgia Music Magazine noted that Kight is “a gentle and elegant woman who manages to channel Southern charm, sophistication and a fierce passion for music into one tremendously intoxicating voice.”
Staring death in the face has its rewards. Having now done it twice, Kight knows about it, first-hand. It’s been said that “music is the best medicine,” and we know that to be true. When asked what got Kight through the dark times, and back onto the stage, she simply replies, with a smile – “God, goats, and guitars.”
Kight’s live show is 80% original songs, and some cover tunes. And sometimes, she might even take requests. She engages the audience with true southern hospitality and steals their hearts like a first love, leaving them feeling like they’ve just walked down a country road with an old friend. Audiences walk away with one clear thing in mind – this isn’t just what she does, it’s who she is.
Kight has dedicated her life to her craft. And when asked about returning to the Griswold, she said “It’s been several years since I’ve seen my friends in Michigan, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all again! I’m bringing a trunkload of new songs, and I know we’ll all have an extra large time!”

DOWNTOWNE LISTENING ROOM AND MEMORIAL HALL PRESENT EG KIGHT
WITH SPECIAL GUEST MARIA CARRELLI
“The Georgia Songbird,” EG Kight brings her solo acoustic show
to Cincinnati’s Memorial Hall Saturday, June 2nd
NASHVILLE, TN — Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter EG Kight has performed in venues around the globe, and has been a part of fundraising concerts in Germany, Mexico, and Japan. And on June 2nd at 8 pm, the DownTowne Listening Room and Memorial Hall present her solo acoustic show at Memorial Hall.
With her rich vocals, well-crafted songs, and inimitable sense of humor, Kight has entertained on stages in various clubs, theaters, and festivals, even appearing on such mainstays as Nashville Now and NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion. A notable songwriter, many artists have recorded Kight’s songs, including Koko Taylor and Dorothy Moore. Several songs ended up on Grammy-nominated albums, and on five major TV networks, with one recently airing on NBC’s “Chicago PD.” And she has placed five songs in a movie slated for an upcoming release.
Kight has emerged as a preeminent voice in roots music, receiving various music industry nominations, for Female Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. Through the years Kight has developed a sound that transcends musical boundaries, with a unique blend of roots, blues, country, americana, southern rock, jazz, gospel, and funk.
Her latest album, A New Day, debuted at #9 on the Living Blues Chart, and infuses her “country-flavored southern-fried blues” with a little gospel to create her most inspiring venture to date. According to Living Blues Magazine, it is “a testimony to the healing power of music.”
That statement rings true, considering that Kight suffered a near-fatal illness in 2011. Diagnosed with encephalitis, a rare brain disorder, at first she was unable to walk and talk without help. The Director of the Johns Hopkins Encephalitis Center stated that Kight is doing better than most survivors, because she has a passion for something, and that’s her music. When asked what got her through that dark time, and back onto the stage, Kight simply replies “God, goats, and guitars.”
When she’s not on the road, Kight is at home, writing more songs, and raising her pet goats, on the land in rural Georgia that’s been in her family for four generations. Her roots go deep. And Georgia Music Magazine writes that she is “a gentle and elegant woman who manages to channel Southern charm, sophistication and a fierce passion for music into one tremendously intoxicating voice.”
Kight has dedicated her life to her craft. And when asked about this upcoming show, she said “I’ve been performing in Ohio for several years now, and Cincinnati has become one of my favorite cities. I’ve got some great friends here, and I’m looking forward to seeing them at Memorial Hall! And I’m looking forward to hearing Maria Carrelli open the show, with her ‘folk based grass roots music’. I love hearing up-and-coming artists, and being exposed to new flavors of music. I know we’ll all have an extra large time!”
Join us and explore the healing power of music with EG Kight.

One of Chattanooga’s favorites, EG Kight returns to the Tropicana Room
To perform select songs in celebration of the “Year of Georgia Music,” and her songs placed in upcoming movie
NASHVILLE, TN — It’s been a busy couple of years for singer, songwriter, guitar player, and photographer EG Kight, with more accolades, more touring, and a book deal in the works. After recently performing in six states in four weeks, she’s bringing her solo acoustic show back to the Tropicana Room, inside Chattanooga Billiards Club East on Saturday, December 10 at 8 pm.
Last year found Kight with a Blues Music Awards nomination for Best Traditional Female Artist, and she was named one of the Top 5 Best Blues Artists of 2014. This year Kight was honored with a 2016 Independent Blues Award nomination for Best Female Artist, and she had two of her original songs land on Shaun Murphy’s new release. Shaun is best known as the former lead singer for Little Feat, and she currently tours with Bob Seger.
Known as a true blues vocalist, early on in her career Kight was nicknamed the “Georgia Songbird.” Over the last several years, Kight has had songs on three major TV networks, and recently she placed five songs in a movie that is to be released this year. So it was only fitting that, when the Georgia Tourism Department recently put together a new Explore Georgia Songwriter Series featuring successful songwriters, celebrating the “Year of Georgia Music,” they asked Kight to help launch the series.
With more songs to write, more shows to perform, and a book to finish, Kight continues to forge ahead. And she wanted to bring one final show to her fans in Chattanooga, before the end of the year. Her shows are equal parts blues, country, americana, southern rock, jazz, gospel, and funk. And her unique blend of music appeals to the masses, no matter their taste. Georgia Music Magazine noted that Kight is “…a gentle and elegant woman who manages to channel Southern charm, sophistication and a fierce passion into one tremendously intoxicating voice.”

Ohio native Lisa Biales blends jazz and blues in performance at NYC’s Metropolitan Room
Latest Album nominated for Blues Blast Music Award for Acoustic Album of the Year
OXFORD, OH – Recent BBMA nominee LISA BIALES is set to bring her “Blues Meets Jazz in a Cabaret” show to the Metropolitan Room in New York City on Tuesday, September 27th at 7 pm.
Currently working on her next album with drummer/producer Tony Braunagel (Bonnie Raitt, Ricki Lee Jones, Taj Mahal) Biales cut her teeth on music, and started performing at the age of thirteen. Writing and singing playful music about the simple things in life, she weaves a down-home blues vernacular with finger style acoustic guitar to create songs that feel like they’ve been around forever.
As a member of the long-time folk duo Prairie Orchid, with Sarah Goslee Reed, Biales (pronounced Be-Alice) played over 100 shows a year as an artist-in-schools educational performer.
Dubbed the “Belle of the Blues” for her crystal clear voice and charming stage presence, Biales has released eight albums to date on her own Big Song Music label. Her latest release, BELLE OF THE BLUES, produced by EG Kight and Paul Hornsby, was nominated for a Blues Blast award for Acoustic Album of the Year. And according to AXS.com, Biales is “One of the most dynamic and powerful blues singers on the contemporary scene.”
JUST LIKE HONEY, her 2012 release, also produced by Kight and Hornsby, landed on the Blues, Americana, and Roots charts at #2, #14, and #13 respectively. It also landed on the Roots Music Report’s top 100 Blues albums of the Year.
Her song “Playing with Angels,” about the healing benefits of a canine companion, went to #1 on the Australian Indie Radio Chart. Another original song was featured in the popular TV show “Girlfriends” on the CW Network.
In 2010 Francis Ford Coppola cast Biales in his film, TWIXT, which was released in Europe to rave reviews. Biales also portrayed the beloved Patsy Cline in the two-woman play “Always, Patsy Cline” to a week of sold-out shows. With the voice of an angel, the charm of a southern belle, and the playfulness and daring of a little girl riding a bicycle with no hands, Lisa strides into various musical territories with wild abandonment. As a storyteller, singer, songwriter, and actress, Biales takes the audience on a musical journey from Blues to Jazz, performing some of her original music, as well as the music of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, Nina Simone, and Etta James, wrapping the music of all of these influential women into one intoxicating performance.
Joining her on stage will be pianist Jeff Levine, who toured extensively with Bo Diddley, Hall & Oates, and Joe Cocker, with performing and recording credits that include Whitney Houston, Bonnie Raitt, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Carly Simon, and more.
Also joining Biales on bass is Conrad Korsch, a multi-instrumentalist/vocalist widely known for his tenure as Rod Stewart’s bassist, with notable recording, performance, production and TV Film credits including Manhattan Transfer, Carly Simon, Bette Midler, Joan Osborne, Madeleine Peyroux, Rosanne Cash, Carole King, Jennifer Hudson, Natalie Cole, Liza Minelli, Bernadette Peters, Kristin Chenoweth, and more.

EG Kight, the 2013 Georgia Music Legend Award recipient,
to ring in the New Year at Chattanooga’s Tropicana Room,
and to raise awareness about the Johns Hopkins Encephalitis Center
NASHVILLE, TN – After a near-fatal illness sidelined her for a while, EG Kight knew she had to find a way to get back on stage. She had to keep making music, not because that’s what she does, but because that’s who she is. After initially not being able to talk, or walk without help, months after the diagnosis, she was singing again. It was a struggle, but she kept her faith, and didn’t lose hope. And now, many concerts and four years later, she brings her country-flavored southern-fried blues back to the Tropicana Room in Chattanooga on New Year’s Eve, and will be talking about her journey to recovery.
In recent years Kight has performed at fundraisers in Japan, Germany, and Mexico. She has appeared on the Children’s Miracle Network, and on NPR’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” Throughout her career she’s been nominated for nine blues music awards, twice for Song of the Year, and her songs have appeared on Nick at Nite, ABC Family, and the El Rey Network.

NASHVILLE, TN – Dubbed “The Georgia Songbird” decades ago for her rich, velvety voice, EG Kight has been making music since she was four years old, harmonizing in church before she even knew what that meant.
