Make Music New York was amazing this year!


Benita Charles in Harlem, NYC

This year's Make Music New York concerts on June 21st were simply amazing!


I had a wonderful time at McKinley's Children's Garden in Jamaica Queens. Although the students were not there this year because they were practicing for their graduation, the audience that attended was very engaged and interested in my music. I sang to tracks of my original music and I ended with the cover, we are family. It was so much fun!

At Sister's Cuisine in Harlem, NYC later in the evening, the show was so interesting because we had people who attended the show and people who were passing through who all enjoyed and engaged with us. It was a great show with the Benita Charles Trio (Benita Charles, vocals, Peter Archer, guitar and Cheo, percussion).

Music has the power to heal, unite and touch lives. I am so grateful to be a music maker!

Dear Friends:


Happy Summer!! It's finally here.  My absolute favorite time of the year. Warm sunny days, longer nights and fun outdoors!  I hope you have a great summer!!


In celebration of the first day of summer, I will present 3 special concerts for the 10th annual Make Music New York festival on Tuesday, June 21, 2015!

At 12:00 pm, I will present a fun-filled set at McKinley's Children's Garden in Jamaica Queens.  It's been a couple of years since I've played there.  This year they asked for me back and I'm happy to return!  It's always a great time with the children.

At 4:00 pm, I will be in Harlem for soulful set at for Mothership Connection Show at  Jackie Robinson Park, This is the first year I'm joining the Mothership show.  I'm looking forward to rocking the crowd in the park!

At 6:00 pm, I will be at Mist for Uptown Funk in Harlem on 116th street for a showstopping set of original music and songs from my favorite singers with my guitarist, Peter Archer and percussion. It's a great way to end the evening on such a monumental event!
