The Music of Sade

There is so much to do when getting the band ready for shows like the one I have coming up on Saturday. Homework, organizing, rehearsals, and lots of getting the word out. It is a lot to do and takes dedication. I am dedicated to you, my audience, and pour all I have into finally stepping on stage. But not only am I dedicated to the music and the success of every show, I am grateful for the musicianship of these awesome cats who put in so much love to make the show vibe with verve.

 Scott Shafer  on drums, is meticulous and studies his parts. Same is true for John Le Blanc, guitar, who knows how to deliver the lines you are expecting to hear. Alan Okuye, musical director and keyboard player guides everyone toward a common goal: your happiness. George Coppege aka “G” on bass makes sure you feel it right where it counts. In your sexy soul. Jason Gay on sax hits your system like a thunder bolt and you understand the meaning of “sizzling”. One more thing…back ground vocalists like the one I have in Maureen Baker are not to be taken for granted. The support coming from her and the fellas is essential to having a top notch performance. Sade is not in Hawaii at the moment. But we are…..

Why am I tell you this? It is important that you have the up-close-and-personal view of what is about to happen. When you come to one of my shows, this is what is stirred in to make the magic happen. It is no easy thing whipping up this batch of ‘feel good’. We all work hard. We bring the heat and pour in the love, everytime we take the stage. 

One last thing……I am a local artist making it a point to perform in a locally owned venue. Bring your feet, baby! We need your support to keep this proverbial kawila (car) on the road. Will you join us to not only see, but to hear, feel, and know what I am going on about?
