Dunno who this is on "Middle Age Blues", but BOS3!
Some group called Saffire (acc.to the Now Playing feature), which I had never heard before either.
The ladies from Saffire at one point in the early '90s just considered themselves lues historians, but since their performing career has gotten launched on the festival circuit, they've become much more than that. All three have developed into talented songwriters. Since lues fans are always looking for fresh themes or new twists on old themes, this trio is a sought-after club and festival act. The core members of this Virginia-based group include pianist Ann Rabson (b. April 12, 1945) and Gaye Adegbalola (b. March 21, 1944), and while the trio was accompanied for a while by bassist Earlene Lewis, she has since left the group. Lewis was replaced by mandolinist Andra Faye McIntosh, also from the Washington, D.C./Virginia area.
Saffire, the Uppity Blues Women -- Elwood/Aykroyd plays them a lot on the House of Blues Hour.
When Sarah used to work at the booking agency, they were one of the acts on their roster. They aren't particularly well known outside of certain circles, but they were one of the agency's bread-and-butter acts--they tour all the time and have a pretty enthusiastic fan base among middle-aged folk/blues types. If I may borrow from Gaz, personally, I think they're rather
meh.
