Check Out This Improvising Musical Powerhouse: Charenée Wade At The Loft

Hit play. Repeat. If you are as impressed as we are, allow us to introduce you: This jazzy powerhouse of a woman is Charenée Wade and she is about to rock The Loft at UCSD Thursday, February 9th.

This award-winning singer is making waves in both jazz and soul/R&B circles and is known for her expert vocal improvisational ability… and her seriously swinging groove.

We actually got a few minutes with Wade to chat music, life and all things good. Check out our interview with her here!

At the show, Wade will perform tracks from her latest album, Offering: The Music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson. We suggest you hit up the link below to get your tickets ($23+ general / $9 UCSD student) now!
