This is going to be a glorious farwell,so, coming out to say "thank you" to one of AZ best R&B Bands for the last time will be
honor and a joy for all the wonderful music you have brought to my life and family and friends.

"Unique" is an overused word but it's the only real way to describe the legacy of Sistah Blue. I was a judge at one of the very early Best Blues Band contests where I heard them and was totally blown away. Unlike many other bands over the years, their sound only got more exciting and energetic with every year.

This group has always been extra special, but when Nancy Dallesandro joined the band so many years ago, there was no looking back.

I've celebrated a few birthdays at your gigs over the years, and no matter how long it had been since I was out to see your band, I was welcomed like an old friend (for a long time I had a night gig myself and was unable to get out to see others much)

To a woman, your talent and authenticity infused any venue you played with unbridled
joy. What you did musically won't ever be duplicated, and that's something that can't be said about too many groups.

Onward! I'll be looking for whatever else any of you do and be sure to be there! Now I'm mainly writing about music instead of playing it. It's almost as much fun when there are wonders like Sistah Blue to write about!

We'll all miss you.

I just sent an email to Nancy, telling her how excited I was that my job is sending me to Tucson in June and that I would be sure to catch a gig with the Sistahs in Phoenix while I was in Arizona. And then I saw the news on your website. The only words that come to mind are "shocked, stunned and "saddened." Like many of your other fans, I can't believe the band is splitting up, especially since you have brought so much joy to many, many people and your potential for even greater success is unlimited. It's been nearly eight years since the Ruidoso rainstorms cut your show short and another few years since the Silver City drenching that forced the cancellation of your show. And even though my wife and I have not had the good fortune to see you as many times as many of your other fans, each concert we saw (that was not rained out) was cherished. So thank you for the music. For the Sistahs who will move on to other bands, I hope to check out your new "families" when I'm in Arizona again.

FANTASTIC!!!
We saw your performance last night at the Rhythm Room! First time for either of us...energetic, full
of life! I am so sorry you are going your seperate ways...but sometimes change will become a possitive experience for each one of you. We will be watching for further news about your varied talents...again, THANK YOU for the
great evening!
Sincerely,
Karen Murphy (Ma!)

I have a complaint about the four-song CD I ordered.

It is so damn good that I haven't yet found time to listen to the "live" CD! That's my "complaint." Any suggestions, anyone? :)

Sistahs, you have really outdone yourselves and it makes me want to jump in my truck and camp out in front of the Rhythm Room or any other venue where you'll be performing. And yes, one of these days, I *will* get around to listening to the live CD, but I gotta tell ya - there's not a bad song on the 4-song CD. You sistahs rock my world! :)

Hey Sistahs!
It's hard to believe it's been nearly 8 years since I announced you in a rainfest in Ruidoso, NM. And then when you travelled to Silver City, NM, a few years ago, it was *another* rainfest! Nevertheless, like some of your other fans, I'm also curious as to where I can order some of your CDs - "Movin' On" and the live one. That would complete my collection and it would make my day!

(PS I'm going to try to make it out to Arizona for a couple of your shows this spring. It will be great to see Lila, Rochelle and Nancy again and to meet the bandmates I haven't met before!)

Hey Rochelle,
What's up? I haven't seen or talked to you in such a long time. Jenny and I miss you guys. When is your next gig? Your mom called last night and spoke with Jenny, she brought back some good memories. Let us know when you guys are at the Rythym Room or where ever next on your calendar.

Love You
Angel~

Kudos to Bob for identifying one of the hottest acts out there and bringing it in-house so we can all enjoy!

Hello Sistahs, and greetings from New Mexico!

It's been seven long years (too long) since we first met you at a rain-soaked concert in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Having the honor and privilege of introducing your band that evening is something I will never forget.

I was all set to visit Tucson and Phoenix in the early part of next week and then Albuquerque and Santa Fe on Thursday and Friday. My friends were notified, everything else was arranged, and I was all set to go.

Until, that is, I saw your website announcing a Rhythm Room performance on July 27th! So now, thanks to you, I'm happily scrapping my original plans and making sure I will be in Phoenix on Friday. (You know where I'll be Friday night!)

This time, Nellie's not going. So let's see what kind of trouble a married man traveling alone can get into! ;)

Looking forward with GREAT anticipation to the Friday night show!

Hey Nancy it's me from AWT, how are ya? I was just listening to the only cd I have of ya'lls I think it was your first one. Take care!

I forgot to find out if your cd's can be bought at local music stores? I had no extra money with me at concert or I would have gotten one there. Again you all are great......a great great show. You will go far, I know it takes time to get known but from what I hear you are on the fast track now. Prayers to you.

Dear Sistahs!
It's your old pal, the former Bob Mitchell from KRWG-FM in Las Cruces, N.M. It's hard to believe that we first met in the summer of 2000 in Ruidoso, NM. And it rained. Then we went to Silver City a few years ago to see you at the S.C. Bluesfest. And it rained. This time, though, I'll be back in the Phoenix area on Saturday, June 3rd. Please, please, PLEASE tell me you'll have a gig that night. And if it rains... oh well... We'll still party down! :)
Your friends,
Bob and Nellie
Las Cruces, N.M.
