With scorching, high-energy performances, raw, powerful lead vocals, superbly emotive guitar, an exceptional groove, and an inspired, dynamic mix of show-stopping originals and steamy, innovative covers, this Bay Area band delivers in every way. 

 

Formed in 2018, the Carmen Ratti Band started with a singular vision: to assemble the best of Bay Area musicians, and produce real, moving, and distinctive original music, all while paying homage to blues originators. The band recorded its debut album, The Road Back, with critically acclaimed musician and producer Kid Andersen at the famed San Jose-based Greaseland Studios in 2021, and has been working to grow an enthusiastic fanbase of support ever since. With countless club and festival dates and private events under its belt, the Carmen Ratti Band featuring Jill Dineen is stretching again, looking to stake its claim beyond the Bay in 2024. 

 

Fresh off a Golden Gate Blues Society International Blues Challenge win, The Carmen Ratti Band featuring Jill Dineen is primed and ready to share its original sound and authentic message to a worldwide audience in January 2024 in Memphis, TN.
