About the Bands

 

Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers

Big Band Stage (4pm - 5:30pm)

 

Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Lickers Lavay Smith, the vocalist and bandleader of the all-star Red Hot Skillet Lickers, is internationally recognized as the Queen Of Classic Jazz & Blues of the 1940's and 1950's. The group's last album, Everybody's Talkin' 'Bout Miss Thing!, received a prestigious 4 & 1/2 Star review from Downbeat Magazine.

Lavay's singing style is influenced by greats such as Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Bessie Smith. Whether singing her own compositions or drawing on a large repertoire of classics, Lavay and her all-star 7-piece band bake up an instant recipe for dancing and good times.
