Post Description
Granddaughter of jazz trumpeter Nat Adderley, grandniece of jazz saxophone legend Julian “Canonball” Adderley, and daughter of Nat Adderley Jr. (producer/pianist/band leader for Luther Vandross), lead singer Akina Adderley brings a distinguished musical pedigree to the Vintage Playboys, a group of seasoned musicians from eclectic musical backgrounds. With an irresistible presence and an equally riveting sound that combines elements of rock, funk and old school R&B, “the little woman with the big voice” lights up the stage.
Akina Adderley and the Vintage Playboys has been hailed in the Austin American Statesman as a “dynamite nine-piece driven by [Akina’s] rich, emotive pipes,” and is considered a vital part of Austin’s newly resurrected soul scene. The band has been playing for three years and has shared the stage with acts like Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Budos Band, The Greyhounds and Carolyn Wonderland. “Talk about fabulous, they know how to dish out the soul,” says KUT 90.5 FM of AAVP's live performances.
Their self titled debut album, released in March of 2009, was described in the Houston Chronicle as having “laid out [Akina’s] dark, rich vocal chops over the Vintage Playboys brassy punch.” The group's sophomore record, Say Yes is scheduled to be released in fall 2012.
