2023 winner of the Golden Gate Blues Society IBC Regional Competition.

The Carmen Ratti Band featuring Jill Dineen is steadily earning its way
as one of the most sought-after blues bands in Northern California, and
straight into the hearts of blues fans everywhere. With scorching, high-
energy performances, raw, powerful lead vocals, superbly emotive
guitar, an exceptional groove, and an inspired, dynamic mix of show-
stopping originals and steamy, innovative covers, this Bay Area band
delivers in every way.
Formed in 2018, the Carmen Ratti Band started with a singular vision: to
assemble the best of Bay Area musicians, and produce real, moving, and
distinctive original music, all while paying homage to blues originators.

acclaimed musician and producer Kid Andersen at the famed San Jose-
based Greaseland Studios in 2021.
