Vanessa Collier brings an exceptional musical set!
The band was great! Especially Laura Chavez on the lead guitar was smooth and could make that guitar sing! It was my first time at Antone's and it won't be my last either.

This is the first time that I’ve seen Vanessa and her band. She was terrific and so were they. Her voice range is crazy and her energy on stage brings everything alive. I will definitely see her again!
Wonderful upbeat performance by Vanessa Collier and her band in a spectacular club. Vanessa is talented,engaging, and a top notch performer.
This was my first visit to the venue, but it won't be the last. The sound was terrific and the seating intimate without being crowded ~ really a perfect balance. Wait staff was super and attentive. Vanessa Collier was amazing. What a voice and a great horn player too. Her band was spot on and the lead guitar by performance by Laura Chavez was especially noteworthy. I'll be back to Jimmy's soon!
Think we found the needle in the haystack. She was "Awesome"...2 thumbs up. She can come back "ANYTIME"
Jimmy's Jazz and Blues Club did not disappoint. Although we sat with an obstructed view of the stage from the SkyBar, (last seats available to non-members) the experience was wonderful! Chris delivered delicious gimlets and provided consistent attention throughout the evening; seating was comfortable; food was delivered promptly, hot, and delicious; acoustics were fantastic; and Vanessa Collier had an outstanding group of band members that delivered an incredible show. I will be visiting again however, need to be "Johnny-on-the-spot" for the good seats in front of the stage!
First time at Jimmys Blues club. Sat up on the rear balcony. Had front table but rear seats. The view was not great because of 4 people sitting in front of us. The band was good but not a premier show. Spent $195. for 2 seats. Did not pay that much to see Eric Clapton. Not worth it.
