Thanks for attending the PATR Show at DROM on Feb 21st!





A Special Thanks to all who attended the Preachermann and The Revival Show at DROM in the east village last night!  It was an exceptional show and a great audience!! They were really into the show.  It was wonderful to look out and see so many smiling faces, especially since the majority wasn't familiar with our music. :)

It was great to see Mr. and Mrs. Holley, Jason Thompson of Pavement Films, Bonhomme, Jamal and Patrick from No Surrender and Carole Scott and her friends.  Thank you all for braving the weather and coming to the show!

A very special thanks to the Preachermann and The Revival Band: Ed "Pearchermann" Holley, Ari Kessler, Joe Paldino, Paul Paldino, Nick Paldino, Karl Watson, and Tom Pope.  It's always a pleasure rocking with you guys!  You are the best!! The music was awesome last night! It touched my soul.

Thanks to all the well-wishers for your encouraging words and your support!  I appreciate your thinking of me.

Music truly is a gift to the world.  I'm so grateful to be so blessed to share that gift.  I will always treasure it and not give up!  Don't you give up on your dreams either! Shalimar!! #staycrunchy

Much love,

Benita Charles Music

Thanks To All Who Attended MOMENTS IN LOVE 2015!

Thanks to all who attended my Moments In Love 2015 Show at The Shrine in Harlem last night! It was truly a magical night of love, good friends, great music and entertainment! The audience was incredible and stayed with me for the entire show.  It was so amazing, especially considering the majority didn't know me. By the end of the night, the audience became my background singers. It was so awesome!!

A special thanks to my love and special valentine, Ed Holley, my cousin Jason Thompson and Ricardo of Pavement Films and Andre Craig Martin. It was so great to see you all at the show. I appreciate your support!

A very special thanks to Kurt Thumb (piano) and Manny Montanez (percussion) for helping me create the beautiful music at the show. I couldn't have done it without you! You are the best!!

A special thanks to the Shrine for their promotion of my show as well as the hospitality they showed me at the venue.  It was an awesome experience.

Thanks to Fusicology and We Harlem for their help in promoting my show.  I really appreciate it.


To all my well-wishers who couldn't attend, thanks for thinking of me and for the positive messages you sent.  I'm sure your positivity had something to do with the positive vibe in the room last night.

Sometimes I wonder if all the hard work I put into these shows are worth the effort and then I have a show like last night and with all the support I received and I have so say, "Yes, it is!"

It was truly a night to remember that I will always cherish.  Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!

Much love,

Benita Charles Music
