Sarah and the Tall Boys December 29, 2010

As a solo act she began honing her skills at a local bar called “The Custom House Tavern”. In 2003, Sarah moved to Chicago to peruse her love of blues music. Potenza performed as a solo artist at some of Chicago’s premiere venues such as House of Blues, The Metro, and the Double Door. Four years, together with, Dan Orduff,(her husband), Ian Crossman, and drummer, Brian Sansom, Sarah and the Tall Boys were formed. Part alt-country, part blues this band fits the bill.

“Sarah Potenza and the Tall Boys are such a unique and dynamic force, it’s hard to fathom how they haven’t taken just Chicago but also Nashville, Memphis and Austin by storm. Potenza and her soaring voice are at home in any of the musical genres favored by those famous cities. And if it is true, as Emmylou Harris once famously said, that Lucinda Williams could sing the chrome right off a trailer hitch, here’s betting that Potenza could belt it clear off the Airstream attached to it. The group’s latest album is proof that Sarah and the boys mightily beg to be heard. “A Lifetime Worth of Sin” is clearly worth the consequences.” – Nate Dow, Boston Herald
