The Devil’s Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith 
By Angelo Parra
Conceived and Directed by Joe Brancato 
Musical Direction and Arrangements by Miche Braden

Musical Direction Miche Braden; Conceived by Joe Brancato. Miche Braden stars as the legendary Bessie Smith. It’s 1937 and the final performance of Bessie, as the fiesty singer regales her audience with tales from her life, and many loves and losses. Miche Braden not only captures the soulful richness of the singing style of the “Empress of the Blues” and one of the greatest singers of her era, but the essence of her boozy, feisty personality. Terrific! Fills every molecule of airspace with the joy of the Blues. NY Times; Braden “enthralled the crowd….with her singing, acting, dancing joking and storytelling.” Hartford Courant; “The Devil’s Music leaves one wanting more. Especially more Braden” New Haven Register; “….should not, under any circumstances, be missed” Palm Beach Post.
The Devil’s Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith" had its world premiere at Penguin Rep Theatre (Joe Brancato, Artistic Director, and Andrew Horn, Executive Director) in Stony Point, New York
