Diunna Greenleaf made a great success when she visited the festival the first time three years ago and many has requested a return.<\/p>\n
Diunna Greenleaf, the leader of Blue Mercy, is a native Texan (Houston) who has a background steeped in gospel music. Influenced by Koko Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Rosetta Thorpe, Sam Cooke, Charles Brown and her own parents Ben & Mary Ella Greenleaf (Gospel). <\/p>\n
She has developed “Diunna’s style of Blues” in the same tradition as so many other great Texas blues men and women. She combines intricate patches of jazz, gospel and heartfelt soul to create a kind of blues that takes one on an emotional roller coaster ride.<\/p>\n
Diunna and her band Blue Mercy have performed throughout the United States and Internationally. She has performed all over Europe, Australia, Canada, Brazil and The Caribbean.<\/p>\n
With her gospel background, she also impressed everybody during Sunday’s church concert 3 years ago, and we are looking forward to a new church concert this year.<\/p>\n
