Sierra Green & The Giants

City Winery Philadelphia presents Sierra Green & The Giants live on July 17th at 7:30pm

Emerging as a vibrant musical force from the bustling streets of New Orleans, Sierra

Green embodies a fusion of timeless soul with an irresistible contemporary allure,

evoking the depth and grit of the genre's raw essence. Revered as the "Queen of

Frenchmen Street," Sierra's roots delve deep into the rich musical soil of the city's 7th

Ward—a historic breeding ground that nurtured legends such as Jelly Roll Morton,

Sidney Bechet, and Allen Toussaint. Sierra's musical destiny is woven into the tapestry

of this storied neighborhood, where her voice resonated in the church choir from the

tender age of eight.

Sierra's artistic odyssey mirrors the resilience and profound soulfulness of her

surroundings. Originating from humble beginnings, she captivated audiences along the

iconic Frenchmen Street, eventually securing residencies in New Orleans' most

esteemed clubs. Here, she meticulously curated her band, The Giants, handpicking the

city’s finest musicians to refine her distinctive sound and command the stage with an

undeniable presence.

A transformative moment unfolded in Fall 2023 when Sierra, alongside The Giants,

collaborated in the studio with the esteemed David Torkanowsky, a musical luminary

synonymous with New Orleans. The outcome was a five-song collection showcasing

Sierra's artistry, revitalizing classics like The Meter's "Break in the Road" and infusing

her unique essence into David Shaw's "Promised Land." Tracks such as "One Thing" and

"He Called Me Baby" resonate with emotional depth and unfiltered passion, marking

Sierra's trajectory—a burgeoning artist leaving an indelible imprint on the soul music

landscape.

Further expanding her horizons, Sierra journeyed to Nashville, collaborating with

producer and guitarist J.D. Simo, celebrated for his work with icons like Beyoncé, Stevie

Nicks, and Jack White. These recording sessions promise to elevate her forthcoming

debut album, infusing her captivating vocals with sultry guitar, potent horns, and

infectious basslines—a nod to the legends of Detroit and Memphis as she forges her

own path among contemporary torchbearers.

Sierra stands poised and primed, where each moment behind the microphone holds the

promise of an unforgettable evening—an embodiment of soulful melodies and magnetic

performances that leave audiences moved, captivated, and inspired. Sierra Green isn't

merely crafting music; she’s etching her legacy in the revered annals of musical history.
