Rock'n Blues Concert Series Welcomes Grammy-Nominated Contemporary Blues Artist Janiva Magness

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - Jan. 9, 2017 - PRLog -- The 2017 season of Rock'n Blues Concert Series begins when Diane & The Deductibles host and open for Grammy-nominated contemporary blues artist Janiva Magness. Lead singer and collaborator Diane Adams has become a strong advocate for supporting the music industry. Located at the iconic Huntington Beach Library Theater, Adams boasts that "every seat is a good seat in the house", which offers an intimate 319 seat setting.

Nominated for Best Contemporary Blues Album for Love Wins Again at this year's upcoming 59^th Annual Grammy Awards, Janiva Magness was the perfect choice to welcome the 2017 season in style. Notably, she is the only female to be nominated in this category historically dominated by men. Magness effortlessly delivers the most powerful and intimate performances which resonate to people from all walks of life. Her charismatic charm is paralleled by her unabashed ability to deliver a raw truth through her lyrics while still touching the listener's soul delicately, yet deliberately.

It is easy to understand why she won the coveted Blues Music Awards from The Blues Foundation for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year in 2009 (she is only the second woman to ever win this Award, Koko Taylor being the first). Additional wins include Contemporary Blues Female Artist Of The Year in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2013, as well as Song of the Year for her original composition "I Won't Cry", co-written with her Producer Dave Darling. In 2014 she released her first album of all originals titled Original which earned her the award for Song of the Year. To date, she has earned seven Blues Music Awards with 25 similar nominations.

Past headlining guest bands include: The Babys; A Salute to Santana featuring Robert Sarzo; Ambrosia; Sugaray Rayford; Saga Strings; Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons; Walter Trout; Mike Pinera; Janiva Magness; Coco Montoya and Gino Matteo & Friends.
