Terrie Odabi is heralded as one of the Bay Area’s most powerful blues and soul singers of recent vintage.  Her band, features guitarist Terry Hiatt, keyboardist Ken Cook, bassist Kirk Crumpler and drummer Derek D’Mar. Together they supply the steamy and soulful backdrop for the singer-songwriter phenom. Acclaimed trombonist Steve Turre – an occasional collaborator with Odabi – has decreed her a “jewel from the Bay Area.”

She tends to always make a sizzling good impression on those who catch her at work. Lee Hildebrand, contributor to the San Francisco Chronicle and many other publications, asserted that she is “easily the most dynamic blues and soul woman to have emerged in the Bay Area since Etta James came out of San Francisco’s Fillmore District in the ’50s. Odabi has a powerful set of pipes, writes terrific tunes, leads a kicking band, and has onstage movements that perfectly match the rhythms of her material. Surely, stardom awaits her.
