“[Ledisi] combines a large, raw talent with a sunny personality…her voice is her portable playground.
– The New York Times
"There's a whole lot of music in this woman. Ledisi will be legendary.” The words of veteran producer Rex Rideout seem to be the consensus when it comes to the 2007 Grammy nominee for both Best New Artist and Best R&B Album. Lost & Found (Verve), her third and most recent album, overflows with deeply touching songs that linger in the mind long after the last note has been sung. Often drawing comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald and Erykah Badu, Ledisi is equally hypnotic whether she is belting out standards in front of the Count Basie Orchestra or scatting wildly with her own 12-piece R&B and soul band. Listeners can’t help but be seduced by her liberating, soulful, honeyed, hip hop-spiced sound and critics agree: Ledisi is a galvanizing, all-natural wonder. Wherever she goes, she wows and astounds.
Burlington institution DJ Fattie B makes his Flynn Center debut! Fattie slings some of the finest rhymes around backed by an all-star hip-hop band featuring Nicholas Cassarino, Benny Yurco, Caleb Bronz, Dave Grippo, Myra Flynn, DJ ZJ and S.I.N.
