The music from today’s show comes from some of the amazing artists I saw during my Chapter 40 Celebration. Here’s the videos, links and more…
Soul of Motown Vegas
These people are truly special to me, my Greensboro connection to Vegas. I know Cj and BL from performing in Greensboro many years ago. I met Sean virtually and Mo, also known as Big Sexy if you go see the show, rounds out the #soulofmotownvegas; the #2 show in Vegas! You will not be disappointed! The amazing part of this group are they are amazingly talented. Of course I’ve heard Cj and BL sing, and seen them perform but listen here, the robust sounds of thee lady of the group, Sean. She did the dang thang! I had to highlight her amazing voice. Unfortunately I don’t know Big Sexy’s talents outside of his vocals and cartwheels but when I say I had an amazing time at their show…. I definitely wanted to hear more.
Here’s how you can see what they’ve got coming up next:
HeIsCj
So I met Cj a long time ago, we’ve done shows together and had some long talks. It is great to continue to see him continue to grow and share his talent. So you know I couldn’t leave y’all without knowing how to find this multi-talented actor, singer, dancer, and children’s theater performer from Greensboro, NC. He has been seen in Color Purple: The Musical, Hairspray, Love Machine: The Musical, Smokey Joes Cafe, Crowns, Black Nativity, Little Shop of Horrors and more. CJ also worked as many characters for the Storybook Children’s Theatre. Aside from constantly working as a professional musical theater actor, he also teaches and performs hip hop and street dancing and is an accomplished national recording artist.
Here’s how you can see what he’s got coming up next:
Ronnie Foster
I had no idea that I’d be meeting a legend… but I did! As I listened to the music and learned about all the people who have sampled his music, I knew I had to do a little research. This Grammy Nominated Artist, Composer and Producer has had his music sampled by Kanye West, A Tribe called Quest, J Cole, and many more. You may not know his name, but you may have heard his work.
Here’s how you can see what he’s got coming up next:
Brian Newman
Just like Ronnie Foster, I did not know who Brian Newman was before I arrived in Las Vegas. Apparently, he’s a big deal and has had a residency for years. I met Brian… Lady GaGa’s trumpet player/bandleader and he is amazing at what he does. Just listen… just watch…
Here’s how you can see what he’s got coming up next:
Tyriq Johnson
I have known Tyriq Johnson since I was a teenager (wow that’s crazy), back in Milwaukee. We’ve performed in shows together and I’ve followed his musical journey (yes, I was doing shows/plays when I was younger…it’s always been apart of my life). He’s long been known for his voice and his locs, but his voice far outweighs the length of his hair. Be sure to keep an ear out for his Earth, Wind and Fire tribute show, “Serpentine Fire.”
Here’s how you can see what he’s got coming up next:
Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns
As I’ve said many times, I love live instrumentation. I dare not compare Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns to Mint Condition; but what I can say is that they both provide feel good music and have some amazing musicians. I hate that I wasn’t feeling my best when I saw this amazing group, but they kept me awake and feeling better than I was before I arrived. They have a few albums and new music coming soon. If you didn’t notice, Tyriq Johnson also sings with them. The video below was one of my favorite songs that night (although not the live performance I saw).
