ABOUT Rachelle Ferrell

Pennsylvania native Rachelle Ferrell’s music career began at age six, which many speculate contributed to the “development of her startling six and change octave range.” Ferrell perfected her smoldering ballads and harmonies while singing with the likes of Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls and Vanessa Williams.  She has become one of the most sought after contemporary jazz artists. http://www.rachelleferrell.com/

 

ABOUT Ledisi

Four-time GRAMMYä nominee Ledisi comes to BHCP Live! with a few bold artistic changes since her last album.  Shaped by her New Orleans roots and Oakland, CA upbringing, she has a freedom and honesty on her new album Turn Me Loose that fans will appreciate.  Her sound is a mixture of Rock, Blues, Classic Soul, Funk and Hip-hop that has been produced by some of the most respected and acclaimed producers.  http://www.ledisi.com
