Received the 2011 Honors Award for "Best Blues Performer" from the Entertainment Consumers’ Exchange, Inc., a fans based organization.
Received the 2010 "Best
Blues Band"award from the Las Vegas Entertainers Award
Black Music Association (BMAs).
Received the 2009 "Best Blues Performer"award from the BMAs.
Originating
from St.
Louis, MO, as a child she performed in many venues
as a modern dancer with her mother, Loyce Huston. As a
teenager, she got her first taste of fame as the vocalist with
Rock 'n Roll Hall of Famer, Johnnie
Johnson (a/k/a Father of Rock 'n Roll piano) who was Chuck
Berry's original pianist and who the song "Johnny B. Good"
was written in honor of.
Lady J's next big break came at the age of 18 when she toured
with the legendary Blues Hall of Famer, Albert "Blues
Boy" King band for several years [more].
She was hired as a trumpeter and eventually moved up
the ranks as horn section leader, then music director as well
as opening act. Being the only female in an all male
band was most interesting. Lady J was performing amongst
stars such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Etta
James, Millie Jackson, Bo Didley and many other blues legends.
Lady J performed with Albert King on the only known fully
televised performance featuring him on the Maintenance Shop
Blues PBS special.
During
her college pursuits, she attended the University of Kansas
and Howard University with music and academic scholarships,
and eventually graduated from the University of Redlands,
CA earning a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration
degree.
Lady J now
resides in Las Vegas, NV where she continues to perform as a
headliner, in festivals, clubs, with her band (Lady "J"
Huston & The Fireballs) and continues to record and compose
original songs. She is managed by "Z." Lipsky
who is a notable and legendary writer, director, Official Blues
Ambassador and highly respected representative to many talented
artists.
Advocacy:
Cox TV show & hostess,
"On
the Go ... with Amie Jo", filmed the band at the Texas
Station in support of Lady J's advocacy for Lupus, Fibromyalgia
and individuals with disabilities. Lupus predominately affects
women of color, especially African Americans. It can be debilitating
or worse. More research and awareness is needed to find a cure,
genetic links, earlier diagnoses & better treament options.
The show aired on COX Cable - Channel 128 (CBS Digital). Lady
J continues to provide support to these cause with speaking
engagements and performances.
This
photo album
shows what the power of music can do. Gifted painter, Alisa,
whose Lupus almost took her life just a few weeks earlier, barely
made it to the 2010 World Lupus Day event. During Lady J's performance,
she suddenly appeared beside her, began dancing & was quite
intrigued by the show & the trumpet. Those aware of Alisa's
struggles wept in delight to see her escape into joy for if
only a few moments.
In the News:
2011 Henderson Press, Hot Spot of
the Week selected performance at Lake Las Vegas which drew over
1,500 people in attendance!

We look
forward to seeing you there
