Ross Farm Music Series presents Vanessa Collier

NJ, United States

“There’s a young lady came onstage with me, I forget where I was, but she’s playing an alto saxophone, and man, she was amazing.” Those are the words of Buddy Guy in a recent issue of American Blues Scene, describing an impromptu performance with Vanessa Collier on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise.

Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
