About event
Vanja Sky is Croatia's answer to Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones. An artistic career could hardly develop more quickly. Five years after learning to play the guitar, Vanja recorded her debut album with well-known artists from the international blues scene. The follow-up work, “Woman Named Trouble,” has now been released.
The blues was originally the initial spark for the young pastry chef from the small coastal town of Umag. After attending a concert by Croatian guitar hero Denis Makin and his band “The Screaming Wheels”, the barely legal Vanja was obsessed with the idea of having found her true calling in blues and rock. She initially moved to Zagreb to immerse herself deeply in the music scene there. She also met the Brit Laurence Jones when he was a guest there. Vanja also played together with guitarist Eduard “Jimmy” Matesic, one of the country's most prominent side artists, in an acoustic duo at concerts all over the country.
Vanja Sky became the discovery and high-flyer of the scene and is no longer an insider tip. The highlights of her lightning career so far include, among other things, the close collaboration with greats such as Bernard Allison and Mike Zito, both her debut album “Bad Penny”, recorded in the Bessie Blues Studios in Stantonville, Tennessee, the workshop of Grammy-winning producer Jim Gaines, followed by the second, much more rocky album “Woman Named Trouble”, which ROCKS MAGAZINE called one of the best alongside the releases by AC/DC, Deep Purple, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen Records released in 2020 were selected!
Vanja Sky absorbed the influence of Rory Gallagher, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan and bridged the gap between the old guard of blues traditionalists and a youthful audience. She is hardly inferior to the stars of the current classic retro rock scene. She impresses with her haunting original compositions, which are on a par with the hits of the current genre greats. With a vintage eighties sound reminiscent of Joan Jett, Vanja sings her songs with the same sharpness and dedication as Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, but with the necessary heaviness whenever necessary.
Vanja has the musical presence to make it big on any stage. Her live performance develops from participation in the “Ruf Blues Caravan” with Bernard Allison and Mike Zito, the result of which is impressively published on a live CD/DVD, to her own headline tours, joint sessions with Humble Pie and Colosseum guitarist Clem Clempson, as well as supporting the rock legend UFO and the Woodstock icons Canned Heat. She is a frequently booked act in front of thousands of visitors at major international festivals such as the Rother Blues Days, Vallemaggia Magic Blues Festival, Fehmarn Festival, Moulin Blues Festival and the Rorry Gallager Tribute Festival. An absolute top act that you shouldn't miss!
