Chrissi Poland Forever Muscle Shoals - Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club

Info

On February 19, 2026 at Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth, vocalist and songwriter Chrissi Poland brings Forever Muscle Shoals, a live journey through the late-60s/early-70s recordings where soul, blues, rock and country met. Informed by time onstage with artists like Mavis Staples and Ronnie Wood, she leans into feel, phrasing and storytelling to reconnect these songs with their roots.

The set draws from repertoire associated with Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Cher and Bob Dylan, balancing grit and nuance without leaning on nostalgia. Arrangements trace the groove and the slow-burn moods at the heart of these tracks, while Poland weaves in context and personal anecdotes that link sessions, writers and singers. With the Forever Muscle Shoals album due in March 2026, this date sketches the record’s contours in real time, highlighting what endures in these tunes and how she hears them today.
