Description

Moe's Alley presents a night of blues and burlesque featuring the Lara Price Blues Band and The Do-Rights Burlesque. Lara Price will be performing 2 sets starting at 8:30pm with The Do-Rights Burlesque performing a burlesque set in the middle.

Lara Price was born in the war torn country of Vietnam in 1975. Abandoned at birth, she became a part of the controversial Operation Baby Lift, the mass evacuation of orphans from South Vietnam to the United States and many other countries. Lara Price is a survivor. Her journey out of Vietnam to her new home was nothing short of a miracle, as 90 percent of the orphaned babies did not survive.

She discovered the power of music at the tender age of 6 after taking piano lessons in England with legendary 80’s music innovator Howard Jones. At the age of 12 she found her singing voice. Influenced and encouraged by her junior high and high school choir teacher, Blake Olmstead, she continued her vocal studies operatically with Dr. Lynn Berg at BSU.

After arriving in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1997 to pursue her dream of singing in a band, she was soon running her own blues jam at JJ's Blues in San Jose, and was featured in an inspiring article about blues jams in the September issue of The Blues Revue Magazine. The journey of Lara's blues band (The Lara Price Band) includes tours across the United States and China and five CD's that Price produced, co-wrote, and is featured on playing drums, guitar, and back up vocals.
