Posted Jun 3, 2025 6:38 pm.
No you’re not seeing double, but blues artists Casey Hensley and Laura Chavez will hit the stage at The Blues Can this weekend.
Hensley is an American blues swing, and rock & roll singer, songwriter and record producer from San Diego. To date, she has released two albums, including her 2017 debut issue Live.
The Los Angeles Times described Hensley as a “rising star,” and she was named ‘Best Blues Artist’ at the 2019 San Diego Music Awards.
Her work includes a mixture of Chicago and jump blues, plus swing and rock & roll. She’s a distant relative of the late Patsy Cline.
