Off the Cuff/On the Record

Yolanda Bush and the Cool Water Collective

COOPERSTOWN—Next up in the Cooperstown Concert Series schedule is Yolanda Bush and the Cool Water Collective—featuring local musicians Timothy Iverson and Evan Jagels—who will take the stage this Friday, March 24 at 7:30 p.m. in The Otesaga Resort Hotel’s ballroom. Tickets are available online at cooperstownconcertseries.org and may be available at the door for this performance of powerful and deep-rooted, soulful blues. Bush has been singing and drumming for decades, and is versatile in numerous styles including blues, jazz, and rock. Her voice is singular, transformative and engaging. In addition, she is a tight, deep pocket drummer with impeccable meter. The Cool Water Collective is a flexible ensemble of musicians with flow, each expressive and highly accomplished in their own craft. The band features Iverson on piano and Hammond B3 organ and Jagels on bass. Completing the ensemble are Doug Gables (guitar), Wyatt Ambrose (guitar) and Joe Damone (drums).

Yolanda Bush took time out of her busy schedule earlier this week to answer some questions about her band, her career and her thoughts on the future. Read the full interview on AllOtsego.com.
