Kim Black + Musician in Bowie, MD

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm looking to sit in with bands that specialize in R&B, Funk, and jazz.

I'm hired for Chaka Khan tributes.

I have lots of experience singing with some of the top bands in the DMV (Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia) area.

I opened up the 2nd Annual Jazz in the Country, August 28, 2021, in King George, VA, with Jeffrey Greenberg (piano), Marcus Hampton (drums), and Don Lacorte (bass). We put a jazz spin on some popular R&B hits. Marcus Johnson, renowned jazz pianist, was the headliner along with Chelsey Greene and the Greene Project. The festival website is s://jazzinthecountry.

I was invited to perform with the Terry Koger Quintet at the debut of Karol Harmon's Jazz Flow Productions, May 2022.

I'm a principal vocalist-actor in the musical "Queen of the People's Hearts," about Diana, Princess of Wales, written and produced by Angela Knight and Randal Dewey. The world premier was September 25, 2021, at the Hylton Performing Arts Center, Manassas, VA. In August 2022, we performed the musical in Istanbul, Turkey, at the Zorlu Center, similar to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. I'm featured in PlayBill, the monthly US magazine for theatergoers. The musical's website is s://./DianaMusicalProductions.
