SUMMARY:Songstress - A Tribute to Anita Baker
DESCRIPTION:“intensely\, passionately romantic… sophisticated pop-soul” – New York Times\n  \nWith her classy\, refined brand of romantic soul\, Anita Baker was one of the definitive voices of R&B in the 1980s. She is often associated with the “quiet storm” sub-genre. However\, Baker’s sound incorporates not only R&B\, but also elements of jazz\, gospel\, and pop. In this new show\, an all-star collection of Twin Cities talent celebrates her biggest hits and her enduring sound.  \nA member of the Midwest music scene for many years\, Ginger Commodore is a regular visitor to the Dakota stage. Classically trained\, gospel influenced\, and jazz inspired\, Ginger’s musical foundation is a true amalgam of musical styles. Further\, Ginger presents her sound with her own unique delivery. \nOriginally from Chicago\, Kendra Glenn realized her gift of singing at age 10 in church choir. Then\, Kendra moved to the Twin Cities in the early 90’s and has made herself a household name. Furthermore\, she has worked with Nicholas David\, R Factor\, Scott Holt\, and many others. \nAimee K. Bryant’s work has always revolved around a well-told story. A longtime member of the Twin Cities theater scene\, she performs on some of the nation’s most acclaimed stages. For example\, The Guthrie Theatre\, Ten Thousand Things\, Penumbra Theatre and the Children’s Theatre Company. Furthermore\, she is a Founding Ensemble Member of Congo Square Theatre. McKnight Theatre selected her as an Artist Fellow\, and City Pages named her Actress of the Year. \nBand:\nDeevo Dee\, guitar\nBrian Ziemniak\, keyboards\nTony Axtell\, bass\nBrian Kendrick\, drums\nDaryl Boudreaux\, percussion \nRecommended for fans of Vanessa Williams\, Luther Vandross\, Peabo Bryson and Patti LaBelle.
