Strauss Studio Series presents Crystal Lady Unplugged

Opening up for Crystal Lady is the dynamic duo of Joe Mancuso and Dave Black! Yes... you get a father/daughter show... it's basically 2 shows for the price of one!

Crystal Lady is comprised of 4 jazz musicians GONE WILD! They have studied with some of the nation's greatest jazz musicians and teachers, but then decided to form an original rock band that is now touring the U.S.A.

Who is Crystal Lady?

St. Louis vocalist/songwriter, Chela Mancuso, like her father Joe Mancuso, holds a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies from Webster University. She has a sultry, alto voice reminiscent of Stevie Nicks and Amy Winehouse with influences from Janis Joplin and others too many to mention here. Chela is also the lyricist of the group, writing words from personal life experiences. She started the band in 2014.

St. Louis bassist Dylan Roussel studied with Willem von Hombracht of Webster University and plays jazz, blues, rock, funk and RandB bass with great passion, virtuosity, heart and soul. His favorite bass players are James Jamerson (Motown Records), Joe Dart and Chris Wolstenholme (Muse). Dylan is also a gear fanatic. He collects vintage basses, guitars, amps, pedals etc. He also plays the Soulard Blues circuit with The Jake Curtis Blues band that competed in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN (2020).

Guitarist Nick Fiveash joined Crystal Lady after responding to a Craigslist ad! Yes, that's right... he 'up and moved' from Brunswick, Georgia to join Crystal Lady back in 2018. Nick studied jazz at Columbus State University in Columbus, GA. Nick has quickly become one of the hottest rock guitarists on the St. Louis scene, his sense of harmony and melodic runs make for an exhilarating musical experience. Some of Nick's guitar heroes include Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Jimi Hendricks and Dimebag Darrell!
