Rising Artist Sista Otis Touring Oregon

Sista Otis, originally from Detroit and now hailing from New Orleans, has been described as a “good god almighty” force of nature whose voice is so full of soul-shine it’ll make you throw up your hands and shout! She started out as a kid cutting her teeth as a traveling street musician performing her songs for pocket change. Nowadays she performs across the country, and has had her music played on radio stations in twelve different countries. Otis’ music has appeared in films and animation, and she has opened for acts such as Blues Traveler, Zac Brown Band, Fishbone, R.E.M., and Kings Of Leon. The Detroit News claims: “She has enough power to fuel a fire and enough soul to make James Brown proud.”

Needless to say, Sista Otis is a dynamic performer who will capture your attention onstage or with her latest disc, Charmed. She will be touring extensively throughout the Northwest in September and has numerous dates in Oregon, beginning with a September 6 performance at the Volcanic Theater Pub in Bend, followed by four nights, September 7 – 10, in Ashland, an early 6:00 pm all ages show at Biddy McGraw’s (6000 NE Glisan) in Portland on the 11, and a 10:00 pm show that same night in Hood River at The Trillium Café.
