| Gaye Adegbalola was born and raised in segregated Fredericksburg, VA, where she was active in the Civil Rights movement. She worked as a technical writer, bio-chem researcher, bacteriologist, and science teacher, and then left teaching in 1988 to work full-time as a musician. With Saffire—The Uppity Blues Women (founded in 1984), Gaye has played in some of the world's greatest festivals, clubs and concert halls from New Zealand to Brazil to South Africa and Europe - as well as all over North America. Gaye also performs solo and conducts workshops about The History of Women in the Blues, Blues Vocal Techniques, Vocal Performance, Songwriting, and The Business of Music. In 2003, she started performing with Roddy Barnes, who is an accomplished pianist with six solo recordings.
