Steps onto the stage with The Northwest Women Rhythm & Blues

The NW Women Rhythm & Blues group performs specialty shows produced by Sonny Hess since the early 80’s. These unique shows are comprised of the top female performers in the country but most importantly, Sonny exposes newly found talent to the Portland Blues scene.



Sonny Hess brings Claudette King “The Queen of the Bluz” to Portland, OR!! She will is joining the already incredible line up of the Northwest Women Rhythm & Blues for their 18th Annual Christmas concerts. 

These concerts are fundraising for the Candlelighters, for kids with cancer.

Claudette King, dubbed "The Bluz Queen" is the youngest daughter of THEE Ultimate Blues Master, B. B. King and, if familial genes count for anything, she is "On to something." Claudette King can be described as dynamic, amplified and downright sassy. 

She exudes a confidence that perhaps was born of her struggle to prove who she is and at the same time carve out her own identity. Inheriting her father’s gift for music, Claudette sang in glee clubs and the choir of Reverend Brown's Baptist church growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. "My inspiration is my dad", says Claudette, who was also mindful of how her father was constantly on the international concert circuit as the tireless Ambassador of the Blues. 

Listening to the radio and her mother’s collection of record albums, she soaked up the joyous singing of notables like Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson, and Mahalia Jackson.

Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....

Which is why — after her Emmy-nominated turn in the soap “Another World” and launching a real estate firm —  Rhonda Ross Kendrick AKA   Rhonda Ross is singing again. Backed by an eight-piece band, this love child of music royalty Diana Ross and Berry Gordy returns to the Iridium Sunday night to perform her own songs, an amalgam of R&B, funk and jazz she calls “music of the African diaspora.” ‘ I FEEL I’M FINDING MY VOICE AND MY PURPOSE, AND THE MUSIC I REALLY WANT TO SHARE. ’  - Rhonda Ross But some may recall a 7- or 8-year-old Rhonda who, from the audience at Caesar’s Palace, sang “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)” as her Supreme mother held the mic.
