In 2005, a song co-written and performed by UVON began airing on the
King Biscuit Time Radio Program on KFFT in Helena, Arkansas.
It is the oldest blues radio show in America.
On April 21, 2006, UVON performed a Pops Concert with The Chandler Symphony ( formerly San
Marcos) at the Gainey Ranch Country Club in Scottsdale, AZ where she showcased her original blues
songs.
UVON has been the headline artist at concerts, schools, nightclubs, colleges, corporate events and
national & regional blues festivals. She has performed twice at The Monterey Bay Blues Festival,
Monterey CA.
UVON has opened for: Robert Jr. Lockwood, Honeyboy Edwards, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Henry
Gray, Henry Townsend, Cephas and Wiggins, Billyboy Arnold, Roy Gaines, Dave Meyers and Rudy
Ray Moore just to name a few artists.
UVON has shared the stage with Michael Burks, Johnny Rawls, Long John Hunter, Dave Riley and
Big Pete Pearson. She was the lead singer in Chico Chism’s band for over two years.
UVON has been described as The Little Lady With The Big Voice. She belts the blues and then brings
her voice down to create a mellow sound for jazz.
UVON performs an original theatrical show titled Blues & Jazz Revue. The show presents original and
classic songs that are interspersed with historical vignettes. The audience is invited to sing along as
she presents a hand-clapping, toe-tapping, interactive experience, no matter how large or small the
venue.
UVON is currently working as a single guest artist, also with a duo act called Blues Times Two, The
Yuvonne Brooks Quintet, BLUZONE, a hard hitting contemporary five piece blues band, and the
Blues Nights, a six piece blues and jazz band.
