Good Times Roll with Coco Soul at the Sheldon
The Sheldon presents Coco Soul and Friends "Mardi Gras Celebration," Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012, at 11 a.m. in the perfect acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall. "Let the good times roll" with this soulful Mardi Gras celebration, led by one of St. Louis' favorite vocalists, Coco Soul! With music inspired by New Orleans, Brazil's Carnival and more, Coco and Friends will create a musical party!
An accomplished vocalist and high energy front woman, Coco Soul has been a prominent presence in the Midwest music scene for most of her life. She's had a successful run as a singer, songwriter and studio artist in Atlanta. She returned to St. Louis and claimed the Riverfront Times best R&B singer honors in 2005, and in 2010, she won the St. Louis portion of the "Budweiser Battle for the Crown" competition. She currently fronts the super-group Soul Alliance and is a cast member of "The American Musical" and "Nothin' But the Blues," two of the Sheldon Concert Hall's morning educational programs.
Coco Soul has shared the stage with Musiq, India Arie, Dianne Reeves, Al Jarreau, Biz Markie and Morris Day & the Time among others. She is a respected local actress, working closely with The Black Rep and Stages St. Louis, and is well known as a co-founder of St. Louis' Café Soul, a monthly open mic, artist feature and hipster who's who gathering. Her latest talent showcase, the B-Sides debuted in April of 2010 at Lola.
