Little Odetta
​​
is a fierce 5-piece Rock & Soul band, featuring
frontwoman Audrey Lurie,
« one of the strongest voices on the circuit »
(Blues Magazine).
​
Rooted in a 70s universe, the band adds contemporary elements through their amazing guitarist
Lucas Itié and keyboard wizard, Shax. One of the strongest assets of Little Odetta is their irresistible groove. It is impossible not to move to the devilish rhythm section delivered by wild drummer, Beufha and wacky bassist, Aurel.
​
Little Odetta is among the scarce artistic category whose music speaks to all audiences. The band fits all stages and are invited to play everywhere; from hard rock festivals, blues gatherings and Jazz events to clubs and theatres.
Their first, eponymous album, released in November 2021 immediately received great reviews from the Rock and Blues press. They’ve played many shows in France and Belgium and were invited to perform in Algeria at Constantine Jazz Festival playing in front of over 3000 music lovers. In 2023, the band played its first show in the UK, opening for legendary Wishbone Ash.
​
In 2024, Little Odetta nailed it again with their second album, Little Bit Of Soul. « 2024 Best French album and n°13 international album » for Rolling Stone magazine. In support of the album the band played at the Cognac Blues Passion, France biggest blues festival, and headline at a number of other festivals, with endorsement from D’Addario, Evans and ProMark.
​
Audrey Lurie's voice is as masterful as ever, once again
establishing itself as one of the most powerful on the circuit... Little Bit Of Soul is a
complete success.”
