A Musical Celebration of African American History with Rhonda Denét
On Saturday, February 21, Rhonda Denet returns to take you on a musical journey back to the vibrant 60s and 70s, celebrating the iconic rhythm & blues and soul that defined an era. Ms. Denet will perform the hits of Motown legends like The Temptations, The Four Tops, and the Jackson 5, and help shine a light on underrated artists who thrived outside the Motown label, with highlights from the Stax, Philles and Chess labels including Otis Redding, The Ronettes and Etta James.
Denét grew up in Washington, D.C. and realized at an early age that music would be a driving force in her life. She earned a Bachelor of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from New York University and a Master of Arts in Arts Administration from Florida State University. Following her graduate studies, Denét returned to New York City with a conviction not only to become an active member of its vibrant musical community but to create new opportunities that would reflect her soulful artistic expression. Based in Newark, New Jersey, the jazz/soul vocalist, songwriter, bandleader, music historian, and entrepreneur makes a full-time living doing what she LOVES…making music.
Saturday, February 21, from 2:00-4:00 PM at the Scarsdale Library
