Fourteen-time MAC Award, two-time Backstage Bistro Award, and Nightlife Award Winner NATALIE DOUGLAS returns to the Broadway@Birdland spotlight with her fifth annual Juneteenth concert, “A JUNETEENTH JUBILEE — TRIBUTES: ‘70s SOUL, Volume 2”.
Natalie is thrilled to celebrate this national holiday with music director BRIAN NASH (Audra McDonald, Jennifer Holliday, John Cameron Mitchell) and her band as they revisit & expand upon her recent smash-hit concert exploring the soul music of this singular decade. One of the great indigenous American art forms, soul music blends traditions from jazz, gospel, rock, and R&B to create a unique expression of emotion from a particularly Black American perspective.
Through this lens, Natalie & musicians, will travel the decade from bell bottoms to “Dyn-O-Mite!” to sky-high Afros to hot pants to disco & Watergate - these symbols of the “Me” generation heralded great musical, cultural & social transformation, including iconic tunes by artists such as Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The 5th Dimension, The Commodores, & of course, a few unforgettable “one-hit wonders.” Can you dig it?
In his second five-star review bestowed upon one of Natalie’s London appearances at The Crazy Coqs, Clive Davis of The Times(UK), said, “(Natalie Douglas) For pure energy, playfulness and heart-on-sleeve emotion, she is in a league of her own. Her latest show…turns out to be even more exhilarating.”
Natalie Douglas has performed throughout the U.S. and internationally and has produced 85 concerts at her NYC musical home, Birdland Jazz Club. For more info, visit: nataliedouglas.com.
