Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Uppity With People

After 25 years and countless shows at casinos, roadhouses and honky-tonks — and equally innumerable evenings spent in sleazy motels along America’s highways and byways — Sapphire: The Uppity Blues Women, are calling it quits. And their music reflects that singular sort of wisdom that can only come from a life spent on the road. The all female trio — who play blues, uppity-ly — are in the midst of a farewell tour that will take from sea to shining sea, and several stops in between. Like, this Saturday when bring their witty, occasional raucous stage show to the Higher Ground Ballroom.
