Long a favorite of Bay Area blues fans, the mighty Tia Carroll comes to Poor House Bistro after releasing an album considered to be her proper American debut: You Gotta Have It! Consisting of both originals and original takes on classics, like the Staples Sisters’ “Why Am I Treated So Bad?” You Gotta Have It! finally captures the energy and spirit Carroll has been bringing to her live shows for the last three decades here in the Bay. With her is fellow Little Village artist Sonny Green, an immense soul voice with wry hits like “Cupid Must Be Stupid.”
