This itty bitty 5 foot bundle of energy comes on stage in her pink dress and purple boa with her blond hair in a curly bun with sweeping bangs and she “knocks em dead”.

Steve Smith and Bill Irvine are major contributors to the group with their musicianship. Bill’s vocalization of Caldonia is a rip.

...it’s just good listening and plain "lots of fun".

The Big Joe Turner Birthday Bash in May was the unofficial kick-off of the 2006 festival season – as well as a chance to see old friends coming out of winter hibernation. More frequently than, "Hi, great to see you," I received the comment, "WHERE have THEY been?!!"

Look out – AnnaLee & the Lucky So and Sos are no longer Kansas City's best-kept secret in the band department! Get out to hear them live... you’ll be knocked out!

Anna Lee and the Lucky So-n-Sos provided a spirited and lively performance that earned rave reviews from our guests. They were a great addition to our Jazz on the Square concert series.

Hi David,
We were all very impressed with your music and had a blast dancing to it. I told Hilary: "Maybe we could talk them into playing at least a few songs that suck, just to give us a break"

A lot people have told me how much they enjoyed the Big Joe Turner Show and how impressed they were with your band. I think you gained a good number of new fans that day.

Hello Bill! I cannot thank you enough for being a part of our wedding. EVERY ONE of our guests had a ball, loved your band and countless people wanted to know where I "found" you. The music was better than I'd ever imagined. I know plenty of New Yorkers who'd love to have you around for their parties...
