ALLIGATOR RECORDS SIGNS BLUES AND SOUL VOCALIST JANIVA MAGNESS! NEW CD SET FOR 2008

“When saucy blues singer Janiva Magness delivers a song, you’re convinced. She blurs the lines between blues and soul, singing with elegance and authority.”

--Los Angeles Times

Alligator Records is proud and pleased to announce the signing of blues, soul and R&B vocalist Janiva Magness. A 30-year veteran of the music scene, Magness has a soulful, husky voice and absolute command over her material. Winner of the 2006 and 2007 Blues Music Awards for Best Contemporary Female Artist Of The Year, Magness’ steady ascension to the top of the blues world will undoubtedly continue its upward trajectory.  

According to Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, signing Magness was a natural move for the label. “I've been watching Janiva over the last few years and seeing her mature into a major artist. Her deep, subtle understanding of blues and R&B music is obvious in every note she sings. Plus, her live performances simply captivate the audience. She's going to be a wonderful addition to the Alligator roster, and prove to be one of today’s and tomorrow’s crucial blues voices.”
