Musical Salute to Mary J. Blige & Janet Jackson
Come to New York City’s legendary Cafe Wha? for this “Musical Salute to the Soulful Ladies of the ’90s: Mary J. Blige and Janet Jackson & Toni Braxton” featuring Emilie Surtees.
For a singer with such powerful pipes, it’s something of a shock to hear vocalist Emilie Surtees describe herself as primarily a “listener.” Then again, maybe it’s her extraordinary capacity to listen that gives her performances their amazing accuracy.
Surtees not only replicates hit songs, power note for power note, but communicates the soul of each singer who originally recorded them — something that requires not only incredible vocals but also a profound appreciation of music.
Be moved and amazed by a tribute artist every bit as talented as the singers she honors.
