Sophie leads the charge as a phenomenal singer and songwriter with a natural gift for crowd engagement. Whether they’re working through a lineup of sharp original material or putting their own spin on a beloved cover, the Sophie West Band delivers an unforgettable performance from start to finish.”

“In their first Colorado Springs appearance, the Sophie West Band instantly became fan favorites during Pikes Peak Blues Community’s Monday Blues Review at Louie Louie’s Piano Bar with their high energy, hard driving set of classic blues and original compositions. Fronted by Sophie West’s awesome vocal talents, this is a group of excellent blues musicians and great entertainers, who really enjoy playing together. We will certainly have them back.”
