<p>Thursday, July 30, 2020 By Kurt Kohnen, Maureen Cavanaugh</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/38467/f659789d981729f0737da4bcca49ed37bf4230a5/original/andykingphotography-0553.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>For San Diego blues artist Whitney Shay, her new album "Stand Up!" came at the right moment. </p>
<p>"I really just wanted to make music that made people feel good that made them dance and really communicated an overall theme of empowerment whether that's female empowerment or empowerment to people of all races and genders. I'm just excited that it... has given people, especially in this current world that we're in, something to look forward to, a breath of fresh air," Shay said. </p>
<p>Coincidentally, the album debuted number one on the Billboard Blues Chart the same week she filed for unemployment because of the coronavirus pandemic. "Stand Up!" is Shay's first all-original album. She also recently released the track, "You're Not Alone, which is dedicated to essential health care workers. </p>
<p>As part of our annual summer music series, the four-time San Diego Music Award winner, joined Midday Edition to talk about the inspiration behind her new album and making music in the coronavirus era.</p>

<p>A few weeks ago, we shared a story about local vocalist Whitney Shay, whose album hit No. 1 on Billboard's Blues charts the same day she was filing for unemployment. </p>
<p>As the weeks have passed, Shay has kept busy with online performances and several other projects, but one in particular stands out: the inspiring “You're Not Alone," which the San Diego-based songwriter and composer Adam J. Eros co-wrote with Shay. </p>
<p>“[The] video features photographs of all of our friends and family who are essential workers that are on the front lines battling this virus," Eros said via email. "Musicians from across the world sent in recordings ... and the song came together as a wonderful show of appreciation. I have received numerous thank-you letters and an outpouring of emotion from the community here in San Diego.”</p>
<p>“My wonderful writing partner Adam J. Eros wrote this new song just over two weeks ago after being inspired by the pandemic to create something to make people feel better,” Shay posted about the project on Facebook. “Now, two weeks later, we present this beautiful video and fully mixed and mastered song that is the result of a collaborative effort of so many people from all over the world.” </p>
<p>All of the musical parts were recorded in various parts of the world where artists are sheltering in place, including contributions by Igor Prado on guitar (Brazil), Red Young on organ/keys (Austin, Texas), and Amanda Dal and Roger Inniss on bass (United Kingdom). </p>
<p>Several local artists contributed as well, including Rebecca Jade, Carissa Schroeder, Leonard Patton, William Pomerleau, Daniel Bourget, Greg Wonder, Michael Clayton Harris, Rhea Makiaris, Stephanie Eros, Chris Stephens, Melissa Alcazar and others. </p>
<p>“Adam had a vision that was beautifully executed, and I'm so happy to have been a part of this project," Shay said in her post. "I hope it brings you some peace during this strange time.”</p>

<p>Not sure what that is exactly? Here is a brief description:<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/38467/4430517baa8c29016436a00edff0717e760a2a45/original/press-photo-1-byfra-uleinfotograf-small.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_left border_" />"The 2020 Ruf Records’ Blues Caravan is unstoppable. Fifteen years after Europe’s most respected label put on its first showcase tour, the founding concept is instantly familiar to blues fans: every night, on club stages across the US and Europe, three rising talents will burn down the house and kick the blues into the modern age. But there’s a twist. With the lineup chosen each year from the cream of the Ruf roster, every Caravan has a fresh vibe, a fizzing chemistry and plenty of flying sparks. And with three wildly different artists running the gamut of styles in 2020, all bets are off.</p>

After early days as the Southern circuit’s best-kept secret, 2018’s acclaimed Straitjacket album put the bandleader in the spotlight with its searing performances, smart hooks and blue-collar lyrics. “I am Southern blues-rock,” states Jeremiah. “It’s in my blood, my heart and my soul. I always sing my songs from my heart, with the same passion that I had when I wrote them. They come from the blood, sweat and tears of a blue-collar worker in the Midwestern United States. I couldn't be more excited about the Blues Caravan lineup – it’ll be hotter than a two-dollar pistol!” <br><br><em>Whitney Shay </em><br>There’s no mistaking Whitney Shay. When this San Diego fireball hits the stage, the first thing you’ll notice is the flammable hair and sparkling dresses. But on this year’s Blues Caravan, the singer’s show will match her style, as Whitney shakes out the R&B floor-shakers from her acclaimed A Woman Rules The World album – and gives you a sneak preview of the studio material to come. “When I perform,” she says, “I want people to dance and be engaged. To me, blues has always been about catharsis, the purging of sad experiences. If I can make the audience leave smiling and feeling like they’ve forgotten about the troubles of their day, I’ve done my job.” <br><br><em>Ryan Perry </em><br>We first met Ryan Perry as a teenage phenomenon, when he hijacked 2007’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis with his Homemade Jamz Blues Band, and announced his talent for sharp storytelling, stinging guitar and soulful vocals. This charismatic bandleader’s talents have only grown over the last decade, and following 2019’s solo debut on Ruf Records, Ryan is the finished article, armed with a setlist to raise the roof. “Fans can expect high action and low ego on the Blues Caravan,” he says. “My live shows are packed with passion and soul, always fun and full of energy – as only a Mississippi bluesman can deliver.” <br><br>Jeremiah Johnson, Whitney Shay and Ryan Perry together on one stage! <br>Look for them across all of Europe and the United States in 2020!<br>⚡️You don't want to miss this show!⚡️</p>Whitney Shaytag:www.whitneyshay.com,2005:Post/58738302019-08-21T02:10:00-07:002019-08-29T09:36:43-07:00Whitney Shay to perform at the Blues Blast Music Awards<p><span class="font_large">Whitney Shay has been nominated for the <em>Sean Costello Rising Star Award</em> at the <strong>Blues Blast Music Awards</strong>.</span></p>
