Lydia Pense & Cold Blood is a dynamic and pioneering band that emerged from the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area music scene in the late 1960s. Often described as a cornerstone of the "East Bay Grease" sound, they blend funk, soul, R&B, and rock with a horn-driven energy that recalls the style of groups like Tower of Power and Blood, Sweat & Tears. At the heart of the band is the powerhouse vocalist Lydia Pense, whose commanding, soulful voice draws comparisons to legends like Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. Lydias emotive delivery and stage presence make her one of the most captivating frontwomen in the history of rock and soul.
