Singer/songwriter/actress Angie Stone is much in demand for her modern old-soul meets the new groove sound. Just nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Performance for her new Stax Records CD, The Art of Love & War, she has one of the most powerful voices in R&B and a playful personality that always moves the crowd.
Phoebe Snow’s debut CD in 1974 featured the now iconic “Poetry Man” and landed her on the cover of Rolling Stone. She was a star out of the gate and has remained one of the most distinctive voices in popular music with her rare, perfect blend of folk, blues, rock and soul. Her rare engagements sell out quickly.
Featured at SOPAC last October before his Grammy nomination for Best Traditional R&B Vocal, Ryan Shaw is someone we couldn’t wait to bring back. In Sam Cooke-meets-Ray Charles style, this 27-year-old singer/songwriter is reviving vintage American music and stirring up a soul revival.
