NYC: SHEILA RAYE CHARLES "A TASTE OF RAY"
Sheila Raye Charles will perform at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Sunday, October 7th at 9:30 pm. Ms Charles creates her own distinct sound while delivering her intensely inspiring message of hope and love. As a talented singer/songwriter, she has found her voice in acoustic jazz and R&B with lyrics that deliver the personal journey of her own life and her relationship with her legendary father, Ray Charles. At age 19, with great courage, she defied her father's wishes and pursued a career in music. Recognizing her commitment and her talent, her father actually brought her and her band into his studio and personally produced several songs. Her music career waned as she gathered a lifetime of experiences but today Charles is called upon to provide skin tingling renditions of her father's best known songs at jazz festivals, embassy parties, clubs and places of worship. Charles is able to inspire her audiences with stories of her life challenges of drug addiction and recovery, of her spiritual journey and personal growth while at the same time delivering meaty, life giving music. With the publication of her life story, Behind the Shades, Charles provides insight into her life and her path to God. As a special treat, Charles will be vocally supported by the Tokyo Funky Women all the way from Japan. Each year, this group travels to New York City to be coached by Charles. They bring tight harmonies with rich soul to her music. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
