Award-winning vocalist Janiva Magness, whose new CD Stronger For It is already being hailed as the best of her career, will appear on NPR's World Cafe on May 24, 2012. The live concert airs on over 250 stations nationwide. It will also be available to stream on demand. Blues Revue says Magness is "a powerful artist" with "a voice that's made for the blues...defiant and irresistible." Blurt called Stronger For It "the album of the year," declaring, "Janiva Magness just keeps getting better. This is an album not just to enjoy but an album that, like all great art, forces you to come back to it again and again and search for the eternal verities of the blues. There is not a weak cut here."
