Michele Denise, American blues vocalist/songwriter, was born and raised in the southern states of the USA with roots in gospel and jazz. Singing about the struggles, love, happiness of the blues, “sultry” Sugar Queen captivates her audience with her unique Chicago blues style. She tells her stories with gritty raw emotion. Previously working in the US and Asia, Sugar Queen broke on the European Blues music stages in 2017 performing at a large number of major festivals and clubs. Her Sugar Queen LIVE 2019 European tour was wildly successful. Sugar Queen also has international success with 2 self-written CDs “340 Blues” and “Sugar Queen LIVE” both ranked in the top 10 Chicago Blues charts in 2018 and 2019. Sugar Queen builds on her success with a second European Tour in 2021. Sugar Queen Blues Trio has become another exciting part of the Sugar Queen Family. Sassy Blues for an intimate setting.
"This 'Sugar Queen' is sometimes sweet-voiced and sometimes bombastic."

If that’s what you need, then you came to the right place, ’cause, straight outta Chicago, we are proud to present our review for one of the biggest, purest, voices in all of the contemporary arena, Sugar Queen and her Straight Blues Band, with “LIVE!”
