A JAZZ TRIBUTE TO THE '80S
The 80s were a time when everyone listened to every kind of music from Bon Jovi and Christopher Cross to Tears for Fears and Earth Wind and Fire. Songstress Kenya Templeton was one of those 80s kids skating to these tunes every Saturday. For one night she will meld her early musical roots of the aforementioned groups and more with jazz for a nostalgic evening of the past meeting its future.
A staple of the Charlotte arts scene, Kenya is known for her “soul-revealing” and interactive performances, Kenya doesn’t just sing; she utilizes body percussion and intricate scatting to create an immersive, limitless experience.
