Lydia Pense & Cold Blood is a stellar group of top-notch musicians led by Lydia Pense, the iconic powerhouse singer famed for her Fillmore West performances, who pioneered the “East Bay Grease” sound of funk, soul and R&B. Admirers of Lydia Pense include Bonnie Raitt, Michelle Shocked, David Lee Roth, and even Janis Joplin back in the day. Cold Blood features a phenomenal group of musicians who have been playing together for nearly 20 years, including Steve Dunne on guitar, Steve Salinas on keyboards, a gritty-growling horn section comprised of John Hablieb and Rob Zuckerman, along with a stellar rhythm section featuring Evan Palmerston on bass and T Moran on drums. The band members are all veteran Bay Area musicians who have played with many great artists including Elvin Bishop, Jefferson Starship, Boz Skaggs, Albert Collins and more. See them live at Almost Famous Wine Lounge, an award-winning tasting room and world-class music venue located in the heart of Livermore’s urban wine, spirits and brewery district.
