about

"Angela Tini is one mighty singer! Her voice is steeped in soul, with plenty of rock & roll sass and old-fashioned charm. Have you met me yet?” The answer’s yes and I’m sure glad." - Brett Milano

"Love it! Been spinning it for weeks!" - Palmyra Delran

"Angela Tini shares a love for a pre-60s sound, and the rousing R&B of ‘Have You Met Me Yet?’ showcases a busy boogie woogie piano and sax on a Ray Charles- esque arrangement, and Angela’s huge voice fills the track with a performance that’s not to be missed." - Real Gone

"I haven't met her yet but I heard her album and it is terrific." - Renny's Riot

“I always wanted to be in a band that I would want to dance to. I’ve got jivers and strollers, but they’re ALL ass-shakers!” - Angela Tini

"If you enjoy good rockin’ sounds, then this is something you need to hear. Angela Tini, known as the Duchess of Rhythm & Blues to her faithful followers, effortlessly spans that area between vintage R’n’B and classic rock’n’roll. Currently based in Seattle, Ms Tini has a powerful and dynamic voice that will have you transfixed from start to finish. She’s fronted several bands before now, but this is her first solo album and features the best musicians gathered from the contemporary roots scene. The results are totally authentic and ought to appeal to any aficionado of the Fifties. Just remember, it’s never mere nostalgia when something sounds as classy and vital as this!" - Fear And Loathing Zine

"A puissant voice deserves equally powerful backing. Angela has wisely surrounded herself with potent players, including Tommy Harkenrider and Carl Sonny Leyland. Her stentorian tones push these classical Rhythm & Blues compositions past rollicking into floor-quaking carbonated bouyancy." - DC Larson's Jukebox Fury

“There are jivers and strollers, but every song is an ass shaker.” That’s the justified promise of Have You Met Me Yet?, the first full-length solo album from Angela Tini aka “the Duchess of Rhythm & Blues.” Angela Tini’s mighty vocals naturally claim the leading role, but can glory because of the swinging foundation that this skilled rock ‘n’ roll band lays down. All twelve tunes here are floor fillers – rooted in the 50s, but exactly what we need in 2023. If you can only listen to one song today, let it be 200 Pounds Of Fun (a Candye Kane cover), because that’s what this is all about. Shake what you got!" - Add To Wantlist

"Super stoked to have in-hand the NEW Angela Tini disc “Have You Met Me Yet?” on Rum Bar Records. Definitely be enjoying listening to this hi-octane rockin’ RnB platter while sipping some ice-cold Mountain Dew in the Motorbilly Studio…" - Del Villarreal

"Angela Tini has stepped out from band The Starjays and recorded a new album. Yep, the lady with the big voice decided to show off her songwriting chops and gathered a who’s who of west coast roots musicians and put her own stamp on it, she dubbed her Long Beach Wrecking Crew. Which is an obvious, and appropriate, nod to the famed studio musicians who backed nearly every band in Southern California in the 60s and 70s. The crew was made up of Tommy Harkenrider on guitar, Josh Collazo on drums, Shorty Poole on upright Bass, Carl Sonny Leyland on piano and Johnny Viau on Saxaphone. She and I share a love of musical theater, and it really shows on this new album, both in delivery and style." - Radio Radiox

Angela Tini, the Duchess of Rhythm & Blues, explodes onto the rockin’ scene with her first full-length solo album out on Rum Bar Records!

(Seattle, WA) - Known as the Duchess of Rhythm and Blues, Angela Tini is a dynamic performer with an irresistible stage presence and powerhouse vocals. Steeped in the tradition of the golden age of rock n' roll and rhythm and blues, Angela Tini has fronted both The Starjays and Angelatini & The Treblemakers. This year she shakes things up by releasing her first full-length solo album called Have You Met Me Yet?

The first single is “Don’t Tease Me” and you’ll be hard pressed to not swing your hips just seconds into the song. The album features a tribute to blues diva, Candye Kane, who specifically requested that Tini record her tune before she passed. It also includes a duet written and performed with the beloved Big Sandy of Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys. Every tune on this record is a dancer’s dream. There are jivers and strollers, but every song is an ass-shaker!

“Have You Met Me Yet?” was recorded at Rockomatic Recording Studios in Long Beach, CA. Produced by Carl Sonny Leyland. Engineered by Shorty Poole.

It's no wonder Viva Las Vegas, the largest rockabilly festival on Earth, consistently invites her back year after year to grace their biggest stages. From The Nashville Boogie to The New England Shakeup, Red Hot and Blue in Canada, Rhythm Riot in England and the Summer Jamboree in Italy, Tini wows audiences across the globe with her powerhouse vocals and engaging persona. She has audiences in the palm of her hand calling for encores. Catch her in a town near you soon. It's a performance that shouldn't be missed!
