Current Albums
On top of all the touring and appearances, Connie and the band are also in demand as recording artistes. They have already produced five albums: ‘Connie Lush’, ‘Blues Shouter’, ‘Live At The Royal Albert Hall’, ‘Unfaithfully Yours’ and Live at the Cavern Club Liverpool. Connie is now writing songs for a new album and still plans to record an album of jazz classics in the not too distant future. It’s not just BB’s heart that’s singing!
Best UK Female Vocalist - for 5 separate years!
Connie Lush is now widely recognised as one of the finest blues singers that the United Kingdom has ever produced. That indisputable fact was acknowledged when she was voted Best UK Female Vocalist by readers of Blues In Britain for 5 separate years, earning a richly deserved place in the Gallery of the Greats.
European Singer of the Year
She is also increasingly recognised on the continent, particularly in France, where she was honoured in the French Blues Trophies awards as European Singer of the Year for 2003 & 2004 (and nominated for 2005). There are no separate awards for male & female singers in the European category, so Connie defeated all challengers.
She's a Memphis Belle
The USA has also fallen under Connie’s spell. In Memphis, she recorded with The Memphis Horns and The Hodges Brothers (Al Green’s backing group) and gigged at BB King’s Club and elsewhere on Beale Street. She also performed in Greenwich Village, New York, appeared on TV in Hollywood and was recorded live on Hollywood Boulevard. She was even offered a contract to sing in Memphis, which she rejected in favour of singing for her fans back home and on the continent.
Overseas Success
Building on considerable success in their native Liverpool, Connie and the band soon spread their wings further a field. They are now hugely popular throughout the United Kingdom, returning regularly to clubs and festivals by popular demand. They are also undertaking extensive tours and appearing at major festivals in Europe.
BB King's a fan
A particular highlight of their career was when Connie & Blues Shouter supported BB King on tour in 98, culminating in a stunning performance at the Royal Albert Hall. There can be no greater compliment to Connie than that uttered so sincerely by BB King himself: “That woman makes my heart sing.” The magic of the occasion is captured in the band’s album ‘Live at The Royal Albert Hall’.
Why don't you listen to what made BB King utter these lovely words and visit our shop at www.connielush.com and either purchase the CD or download tracks from the album.
Singer and Accomplished Songwriter
It is less appreciated that Connie’s musical talents go beyond singing. She is a highly accomplished songwriter, confirmed by many excellent self-penned songs that form the content of her live & recorded repertoire. She has also written TV themes and featured as a DJ on Jazz FM.

Terry Harris - Bass
One of the founder members of Blues Shouter plays a Music Man Sting Ray Bass which he has played for several years. Terry organises most of the bands tours and the business side of things as well as being an excellent bassist. His major influences are Stanley Clarke, Jack Bruce, Jacko & Ry Cooder. Terry's musical tastes range right across the music spectrum, but he enjoys playing the Blues. One of his most enjoyable gigs was playing the Royal Albert Hall supporting BB King.

Influences: Connie was a born performer, beginning her singing career in church choirs from the age of five until she was 17 years of age. Her musical influences are wide ranging and include Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker and Maria Callas. She also adores jazz, which is very evident from her stage performances. In her early career, she recorded five White Label discs and one album of garage and soul music in the 1980s. In addition, she has provided the vocals for the theme music of several television programmes and for British Handmade Films
