Thanks for attending the Shrine Show on May 9th!

A Special Thanks to all who attended the Preachermann and The Revival Show at The Shrine in Harlem last night!  It was an exceptional show and a great audience!! It was nice to see so many smiling faces. They were really into the show.  We met so many new friends last night.  It was so awesome!!

It was so wonderful to see Mr. & Mrs. Holley, Jay and Jamal and all the new friends we met!!

A very special thanks to the Preachermann and The Revival Band for providing the killer music: 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!  The music was tight last night!! It made my heart dance!

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 after all these years.  I will always treasure it and not give up!  Never, ever give up on your dreams! Shalimar!! #staycrunchy

Happy Spring!

Dear Friends:

Happy Spring!  It's finally here!! Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings and a fresh start.  I'm looking forward to warmer days, longer nights and fresh flowers. Unfortunately, old man winter hasn't gotten the memo and he's not going out without a fight.  Snow - on the first day of spring - unbelievable! I'm looking forward to warmer weather!!

Speaking of the spring time, I've decided to forgo my normal spring concert this year. Many of you have been asking me periodically for new music and I appreciate your interest. Presently, I'm working on new music to be released this year that warrants my full attention. It's coming soon! I will keep you posted. :)

A special thanks to all who came out and supported Preachermann and The Revival at Drom in the east village on February 21st!  It was a great show and a new venue for us. We played in front of an audience where the majority didn't know us and they were very responsive to us!  This was the ultimate test of the power of our music. Look for more exciting shows coming up in the coming months.

For those of you who are new to Benita Charles Music: welcome and thank you for your support!  I have performances with my own projects, The Benita Charles Trio and The Benita Charles & Friends Band. Also, I perform with the atomic soul band, Preacherman and the Revival.  This is not a gospel show but it is heartfelt, soulful music good for the soul.  I hope you will have an opportunity to see one of my shows. Thanks for signing my mailing list!
