"The Scorch Sisters seize the blues as their own and subsequently fire it up with a unique intensity. They will demand your respect with their powerful vocals all the while having you wonder where the "Hell" have these ladies been hiding! The Scorch Sisters deliver the blues straight up: can someone say 'Cheers'?"

Ending 2011 on a High Note are Scorch Sisters, honored and recognized by longtime industry trade publication Music Connection with their selection as a "Top 100 Live Artist Of The Year For 2011" in the magazine's always-anticipated year-end issue. No less than a thousand bands in various music genres from around the globe are considered each year for MC's "Top 100" - quite an honor for the ladies of this fast-rising Southern California-based group.
Come hear the Scorch Sister's Red-Hot Blues when they play live at Silly's Cocktails on Friday, December 9 (also Friday, January 13), 9 pm - 1:30 a.m., and there's no cover! Silly's is at 20160 Roscoe Blvd., in Winnetka. Info: (818) 993-3634 or www.sillycocktails.net.
In addition to their MC "Top 100 Live Artist" honor, Scorch Sisters played Real Blues Festival 2 in May, "Ladies Do the Blues" in July and "Lorey's Blues For Hope" this past August, as well as competing in the 2012 International Blues Challenge (IBC) Finals this past October. Not bad for a group that has been together for less than a year!

Scorch Sisters - Some Background
The recently-formed Scorch Sisters consist of highly-regarded SoCal musicians Francesca Capasso (vocals, percussion); Alicia McCracken Morgan (keyboards, vocals); and Kimberly "KC" Allison (guitars). Among the stellar bands and artists on the three ladies' collective musical resume's: Neil Young; Rod Stewart; Delaney Bramlett; Billy Vera and the Beaters; Joe Houston; Zola Moon; Don & Dewey; Bobby Womack; Melissa Etheridge; Spencer Davis; Carmine Appice; Randy Jackson; Some Like It Hot Revue; and Francesca and the Flames. Scorch Sisters made their performing debut at this past April's "Blues For The Rising Sun" benefit in Long Beach, followed by a headlining appearance at this past May's Real Blues Festival of Orange County 2.
"Francesca Capasso, singing from her soul, with fellow Scorch Sisters Alicia Morgan and guitarist Kimberly Allison, really brought it with their opening uptempo shuffle "Blues For Barnaby" and a scorching (excuse the pun!) guitar solo by Allison on "Still Remember," said Reagan. "Alicia is an awesome keyboard player...Francesca will take your heart if you let her...and you will," concludes Reagan in his revue.
A new Scorch Sisters CD is in the works and will be released on Kimberly Allison's Starliner Music label in the near future.
