Juanita Williams

Although Juanita Williams may seem like a new face on the blues scene, one listen to her brilliant debut album on the Big Mo label, Introducing Juanita Williams, and you realize this woman is a pro. In fact, she's spent the last 20 years as lead vocalist for the Airmen of Note, a prestigious Air Force Big Band originally founded by Glenn Miller. Williams began singing in the church, but her secular influences eventually stole her heart, and they included singers like Etta James and Aretha Franklin. However, Williams's voice, passion and energy are completely unique. ~ Richard Skelly
