A beautiful evening at The Apollo Friday night - April 22nd!

A beautiful evening: There was an awesome tribute to Prince at The Apollo night! I met so many great people. The energy and love was incredible. I really needed this tonight. I haven't been great since I heard the news of Prince's death. His music just washed the pain away. That was the power of his music!! It was so much great music. The announced on the news today that he has a vault of unreleased music.  I hope we're able to hear it. He has so much great music available to us. It's so incredible! His music truly gave me comfort tonight. He will truly be missed! WE LOVE YOU, PRINCE!!

A special thanks to all who attended Preachermann's Birthday Concert at the Shrine on Dec 5th!

A Night to Remember: Thanks to all who attended Preachermann and The Revival at The Shrine in Harlem last night. It was such an awesome show and the audience was so engaging!

Preachermann (Ed Holley) was on fire last night!! He's such an incredible artist and I feel so blessed to share the stage with him and my life! A special happy birthday to him and many, many more!! I love him so much! The best is yet to come!

A very special thanks to Andrew Kerr for opening for Preachermann. It was a great set! Your voice was incredible and I really enjoyed your songs and story. You can find his music at http://andrewkerr.com.

A very special thanks to the Revival Band for a slamming set (Ari Kessler "Joe Team Leader" on keyboards, Joseph Paldino "Clean Papa Joe" on guitar, Karl Watson "The Rock" on saxophone and violin, Nick Paldino "Mr. Soulfly" on guitar and bass, Tom Pope "The Pope of Brooklyn" on drums and Manny Montanez "Music Making Manny" on percussion)! You men brought it last night! The music washed over me and set my soul free. It was incredible! For more information about Preachermann and The Revival, visit: http://preachermann.com.

A special thanks to the Shrine for always making us feel welcomed during our residency this year! It's a great venue and we're so happy to be there!! Looking forward to returning in February 2016!

There were so many new faces last night but they thoroughly enjoyed the show! It was so nice to meet Tara, Fara (who was overjoyed after the show) and Ron (a teacher in the Bronx who said our music brought us back to the old days when he was in a funk band)! This such a huge validation of the impact our music has.

Thanks to all our fans for your continuous support!! Looking forward to rocking again with Preachermann & The Revival in 2016! Happy Holidays!! Stay crunchy and Shalimar!

Happy Holidays from Benita Charles Music!

Happy Holidays to you and your family! Christmas time is my favorite time of the year. May the joys of Christmas fill your heart with love. Wishing you a wonderful holiday today!

This holiday, many special children will enjoy their holiday thanks to our efforts through the Toys for Tots organization. Thank you so much to all who attended the concerted, donated toys and helped with my sixth annual toy drive at Silvana in Harlem on Tuesday, December 16th. It was a huge success thanks to you! It was well worth the effort knowing the children will enjoy the magic of Christmas this season.

I am so grateful for your support of my musical endeavors through the years. I really appreciate your interests, words of encouragement, support (by purchasing my music and attending my shows) and your well wishes.

To all my new friends who recently signed my mailing list, it was nice to meet you and I look forward to seeing you at my shows in the future.

May you have a day filled with love, joy and happiness to last you throughout the year!

Much love,

Benita Charles Music
