  The "Original Good Time Girl" ...(Insert drum roll here)Sista Otis, released her Debut Award Winning studio Album, Worldwide Release in 2004. With air play in 12 different countries and coast to coast on college and public radio in the States, a write up in Roiling Stone, Advocate named her one of the top Indie Artist in the U.S. - but the real proof is in the live performance. Sista Otis is a one-woman dynamo. A party with just a acoustic guitar, vocals and song-writing with classic elements, reminiscent of the late 60's. Bringing her Singer/Songwriter Blues inspired rock-hip hop with gospel rhythms to The People. A Poet, Storyteller, Lyricist, Master Melody Maker and Improve Artist. Song structures so diverse and truly original yet so familiar and warm that you feel like you've heard them before. Strong with rhythm and addictive hooks and lyrics that hit the heart, head and stir your eternal soul. With saucy little numbers about having the bartender pour another round to This Love Is Spiritual. She's sassy, charming and raw. She can easily do an adult show, kids show or a gospel show at the church on your corner. Knowing and understanding how to serve the people, she is "The Original Good Time Girl" and the Good Time Revolution is in full effect when Otis is up in the house.
 Hailing from the Midwest, Detroit to be exact, is Sista Otis and the Wholly Rollers. With the feverish fervor of a faith healer, Sista Otis and company rolls through a series of songs on its CD Worldwide Release (Wholly Roller) that sound as if they were baptized in hip-hop (“Beat On The Road”), funk (“Love Is Spiritual”), modern rock (“Rollin’ Stone,” “Mama Look At Me”), and the blues (“Letter To Denine”), and bring the listener to the brink of testifying.
But even that cannot compare to the ecstatic, blood-pumping, heart-rendering, passionate intensity of a live performance. Like a tornado of mysticism and music, it will pull you in, have you spinning around, sending your spirit to wondrous places previously unknown.
