vocalsAbout
DivaNation is a diverse and developing community of Philadelphia's female vocalists who evoke the spirit of legendary Jazz singers like Ethel Waters, Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday, while keeping eyes and ears open to the sounds of the future. The project’s goal is to create a community (a nation of Divas!) who contribute to each other’s careers and to their community.
Through performance, public rehearsal and artistic dialogue these musicians will give audiences a sneak peek into the collaborations which will culminate in a performance series on September 12th and 13th at the Mandell Theater at Drexel University....
