Michel Bastian is a white light charismatic, world-class
vocalist that is as memorable as your first date. Her positive energy reaches off the stage and surrounds you like a warm
comfortable blanket. Be prepared for chills and goose bumps as you listen to her sail through her notes. With her mature stage
presence, she lifts up and connects with her audiences around the world. Using her voice like an instrument, Ms. Bastian takes
you different places that you were never expecting. When you hear her voice, you know you are in the presence of a very unique
gift. A voice like this only comes around a few times a century. Her strength and power will hold you hostage to the
end of her concert, and weeks after. She comes out startling and finishes with more than what she started with. Ms. Bastian
is a Funk/Gospel/R&B/Blues/Rock/Power vocalist (emphasis on the power) and offers Grammy and Oscar performances night
after night.
Ms. Bastian is the vocalist that replaced Janis Joplin. She sang with Big Brother and The Holding
Company from 1987, through 1996, for nine years, and helped bring the band back to notoriety domestically and internationally. For
those nine years, Ms. Bastian was the sole positioned, or fixed vocalist singing with Big Brother and the Holding Company,
as opposed to now, where there is a corral with as many as nine to ten different singers rotating nightly. Bill Graham (legendary
rock promoter) thought she was a "really really great singer" and called her to tell her so.
Ms.
Bastian also misses her best friend and road buddy while in the band, James Gurley (guitarist of Big Brother and The Holding
Company). She wishes James a wonderful transition and knows that she will see him again in the big concert in the sky. Ms.
Bastian remains in touch with James' wife, as a very close friend, sister and confidante.
Ms. Bastian has played with many of the
greats and hopes to include some of them on her up-coming albums. To book or contact Ms. Bastian, you may inquire within.
