JODY WATLEY feat. SHALAMAR

In 2014, music journalist Dean Van Nguyen, in a cover feature for Wax Poetics, said of Ms. Watley “She’s one of the most prominent visionaries of her era, and one whose influence remains a key touchstone in contemporary pop music.”

“Everything I’ve ever done has been to be distinctively Jody Watley,” says the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/fashion icon when asked why she thinks she’s lasted over three decades in the cut-throat music industry. “From my first solo album through right now,” she says thoughtfully, “everything that I will ever do has to be authentic to me. It’s not so much about, ‘Oh, this is going to be popular,’ or ‘Oh, this is going to be a big hit.’ It’s always been so personal to me, everything that I do. The fans can feel that. They connect with the honesty. It’s in the music.”

In the show & proven style that fans have admired for over three decades, the Grammy-winning hyphenate (singer / songwriter / producer / businesswoman / OG fashionista) one of music's enduring artists and style icons brings a rebooted Shalamar to the stage. Shalamar was formed in 1977 as a vocal dance trio by Don Cornelius of the Soul Train television show and shortly became a top group with soulful disco sounds. Being at the helm of the Shalamar brand allows Jody Watley to give fans the group’s patented sound (rich harmonies, soulful melodies, funky moves and musical beds with high style). Inspired by her retro-futuristic new album Paradise, with her penchant for current sounds and underground club movements.

With classics like "A Night to Remember", "Second Time Around", sprinkled with Watley's signature tunes including "Looking For A New Love" "Don't You Want Me", "Friends" along with recent global smash and ode to good times "Nightlife". Guaranteed to be 100% funky and a true night to remember.
