Janiva Magness

Janiva Magness is one of the most beloved figures in the Americana, blues and roots music world. She’s reached a larger and more diverse audience with each succeeding album and developed a reputation as a live entertainer that’s made her a staple of the international festival circuit.

Magness continues her diverse audience reach with her latest release Love Wins Again. This album is another evolutionary step for the soulful, elegant, award-winning singer-songwriter. Its 11 core songs are built on a sonically sophisticated architecture that’s in full service of Magness’ remarkably flexible and generous voice—which can flow smoothly as champagne or churn up gravel on command. The album’s title is a mantra that resonates throughout: the concept of love as a physical, psychic and spiritual force that has the strength to conquer negativity, sadness and personal demons.

Magness is a seven-time Blues Music Award winner, twenty-five time nominee and 2015 Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year, and a B.B. King Entertainer of the Year. You won’t want to miss this blues artist’s performance!
