The line-up includes bassist Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band, Aquarium Rescue Unit) and drummer Russell Batiste (The Funky Meters). Vida Blue will play a sold out show at Higher Ground in Winooski, VT on December 30 and a New Years Eve concert at Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Tickets are still available for the 12/31 show. The trio is finishing work on its debut album, which is due out this spring.
