Sybil performs up and down the east coast including the Triad Theater in New York City and the Old US Mint Theater in New Orleans. She is the recipient of several awards for songwriting. Her second CD "NOLA Calling" was nominated for "Best Self-Produced CD" by "The Blues Foundation", as part of the International Blues Challenge. Sybil Gage is backed by her Merry Band of Royal Catahoula’s. “After attending many of Sybil's shows at Heidi's Jazz Club, I have concluded that Sybil Gage and her group demonstrate the true spirit of American Jazz."

Margie Nelson who is no stranger to our High Life Jazz Series told me about Sybil and said A Sybil Gage concert is always pure fun! I love her sassy and spunky personality, and huge smile! Wearing sparkly dresses and trailing her signature feather boas behind her, she’s a magnetic presence on stage. She amazes with her cool song choices and her band is always top notch! I’m proud to be her friend and admirer! I immediately listened to her music and I was hooked as I am sure our patrons will be too!!
