Originally a gospel singer, Dorothy Mae "Lady Dottie" Whitsett's early career included performing with Kool, the Gang, and Clarence Carter. She was known as Miss Dynamite and formed a jazz duo (San Diego, 1984) after meeting keyboardist Joey Guevara in a local piano bar. They were joined by Guevara's bandmates from Operator X, Stephen Rey (bass) and Brian Cantrell (drums). Two guitarists, Isaiah Mitchell and Nathan Beale (of Dirty Sweet) and Joey's brother Dan Guevara on horns, rounded out the band. The band won two 2007 San Diego Music Awards for Best Blues and Best Blues Album, and it landed Best Blues again in 2008. They earned another Best Blues Album award in September 2009 and Best Blues (again) in 2011 and 2012.
Rey.Wolf consists of both original compositions and obscure songs from the 30s and 40s. The 21st century crooner tight ropes Swamp Blues and Jazz Noir. The avant-garde show hyper activates your eyes and ears. Rey.Wolf vocals capture the allure of early Hollywood crooners, the vulnerability of Roy Orbison, and the raw power of Howlin’ Wolf.
