Alexis P. Suter Band
What do you do when your mother was a backup vocalist for Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Harry Belafonte, Mavis Staples and Dionne Warwick? You grow up to be an award-winning blues, gospel, and rock vocalist with an extraordinary bass/baritone voice. Alexis P. Suter is the owner of that big, booming gale-force voice that you can hear roaring out of Brooklyn into the heart of North America and beyond. Her vocals range from pained passion to explosive and soul bearing, blending blues, soul, roots & rock. Her repertoire ranges from old-time Delta blues like “John the Revelator” to classic electric blues like “Got My Mojo Working” to vintage soul including “Take Me to the River.”
Suter burst on to the music scene as a regular performer at Levon Helm’s legendary Midnight Rambles in Woodstock, NY. “She is one of those wonderful spirits, she’s got her arms around you; you can feel that,” gushed Helm. Suter and her band opened for Helm nearly 100 times at the Beacon Theater, Bethel Woods Center For The Arts, The Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ and Central Park’s Summerstage. Suter has also opened for the great bluesman B.B. King, who remarked, “It’s a rare thing to share the stage with great talent like that young lady.”
Since then, Suter and her band has been a fixture on the blues festival circuit, and have garnered nominations at the Annual Blues Music Awards for the Koko Taylor Award and the Best Soul Blues Female Artist award. As WickedLocal.com puts it, “If Alexis P. Suter had been at the Battle of Jericho, Joshua could have put his ram’s horn away.”
