From simonesworld.com
She is her own woman, a singer, songwriter and performer whose ability to transcend genres echoes the tradition of her mother, musical icon and pioneer Nina Simone.  Blessed with a rich vocal range, an innate skill for lyrical interpretation and a soul-deep understanding of music as a means of healing, empowerment and celebration, Simone is very much her mother’s daughter, she is most assuredly a multi-talented artist in her own right.

Oleta Adams lit up the Downtown Brooklyn Metrotech promenade with her beautiful booming voice. What a voice she has! Oleta gained famed back in 90’s with hits like “Circle of One”, and “Get Here”. She and her band performed these and many other songs. Their style is R&B, Gospel, and Jazz. Oleta puts on a tight, lively performance. She dances around the stage and dances behind her keyboard. She enjoyed being there to perform for us. At one point she remarked how blessed she was to be able to perform under the trees at Metrotech in great weather.

Partway through her show, Oleta and the band cleared the stage to showcase one of her backup singers sing out in front to promote her new CD.

Oleta Adams delivers a solid performance that gets the crowd going. She has a great voice and a love for entertaining her audience.

Did I mention her great voice?

About Me

I love Summer in New York City. There are a gazillion things to do, from free concerts to street fairs, from outdoor dance parties to live performance art. The city is buzzing with activity. This blog captures the fun and energy that is New York City during the summer months. We attend all the coolest events in and around the city. I attend Summer Stage, Celebrate Brooklyn, PS1 Warm Up, Globesonic in Riverside Park and any other chill happenings. Whether it is Reggae or Reggaeton, Hip Hop or House, Salsa or Samba, Compas or Calypso. Whatever the style, we are there to enjoy it and share it with you. Jimmy Cliff, Raphael Saadiq, KRS-One, Kat Deluna, Ozomatli, The Wailers, Nile Rogers and Chic, Angelique Kidjo; these are some of the amazing acts we\'ve covered and there are many more to come. With a name like NYC Summer Blog you might think that everything goes on hiatus when it gets cold. Not so! It is always summer at NycSummer! Look for past NYC shows and other special events from other parts of the world, even when the temperature drops here in New York. So, browse the Gallery Index and enjoy the sights and sounds that is Summer in New York City! Terry
