Club 321 Featuring Michelle “Evil Gal” Willson

Artist: Michelle “Evil Gal” Willson

Michelle Willson is known as Evil Gal to blues lovers around the globe. “It is impossible not to be moved by this performer…with her lush, sultry & robust voice, Willson can get a rise out of a stone statue”–MSN music – all music guide.

She’s known as Queen of the Vibe Tribe to listeners of Morning Vibe Time, her radio show on NPR affiliate station 90.5 WICN in Worcester, who also have their own nickname –Tribe-arinos! Michelle has recorded and released 4 award winning albums for Rounder Records, as well as a live recording at Scullers Jazz Club. She’s performed on many other artist’s recordings, such as blues legends Duke Robillard, Anthony Geraci and Porky Cohen. She sang with Dr. John at The Wilbur Theatre in Boston and has toured around the globe, most recently in Switzerland.

Last December, Michelle and her Evil Gal Festival Orchestra packed Washburn Hall and delivered a knockout performance. They had the whole room moving, grooving and digging the soulful sounds. The holidays just wouldn’t be complete without the evilicious good vibes Michelle and her band bring to every show. You don’t want to miss this. You can be there or you can hear about it later and wish you had been! Tribe-arinos, assemble!

“A great night with a great band.” — The Noise

“…Here comes Boston’s Michelle Willson, singing like the music mattered, like it might be the only way out of a bad patch of luck or a botched marriage.” — GQ

“Her singing is like a strong cup of joe — it beelines to the gut and jolts the system.” — allmusic.com
