By the time Cheyenne James was 10 years old, the Houston powerhouse
was singing Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, and Etta James. Her giant voice,
passionate performances, and taste for R&B won her the local nickname “Lil’
Miss Blue-Eyed Soul.”
15 years later, Cheyenne has performed at every country club
and road house in southeast Texas as a solo act or with other incredible Lone
Star State musicians. Texas may be big, but it isn’t big enough to hold her any
more. With Burn It Up, Cheyenne is debuting on the national stage,
showcasing her songwriting talents on six original songs and her versatility on
material from artists including Willie Dixon and Van Morrison.
The multi-talented singer is also an acclaimed
stage actress who has inspired comparisons to Sophie Tucker, an accomplished
dancer, and, as demonstrated on the sizzling cover of Burn It Up, a fire
eater. This 10-song debut from this Red Hot Mama is sure to scorch!
