Spring to Life III - Triumph(ant)! Deletta Gillespie CD Release and Benefit Concert
Spring to Life is an annual concert event created by singer/songwriter and performing artist Deletta Gillespie, founder of NuRelik Performance Workshop in Baltimore, MD. The concert series raises funds and awareness for a specific non-profit or charity each year. This year's benefit concert coincides with Deletta Gillespie's CD release. Entitled 'TRIUMPH(ant), the CD is a collection of songs about living and loving, and suriving and thriving beyond one's circumstances. The music is an eclectic mix of genres - afro-celt, jazz, r&b, rock, reggae, and dance, and 90 percent of the music was recorded live.
The beneficiary of this year's event is The Samaritan Women, a residential facility in Baltimore dedicated to the long-term care and support of survivors of human trafficking. In fact, The Samaritan Women is the only residential facility of its kind on the eastern seaboard.
The band is composed of heavyweights from the Baltimore region - Nick Costa (drums), Mitchell Coates (bass), Kentrell Harris (keys), Paul McKeown (guitar) and composer/guitarist Kevin Jackson is the musical director. Jackson has also released a CD this past year, 'Stories in Color' and has received airplay at radio stations across the northeast.
Opening acts include powerhouse singer/songwriters Teporah Bilezikian (adult contemporary), and Ama Chandra (r&b,jazz, brazilian, adult contemporary).
The concert is on Saturay, May 18 from 4:00 - 7:00 pm on the grounds of The Samaritan Women, 602 S. Chapel Gate Lane, Baltimore, MD, 21229. It's a picnic vibe, so bring your lawnchairs and Frisbees! Food will be available.
If you can't make it to the event, please help us by making a donation at GoFundMe.com/Deletta-Triumphant (because making great art takes money!). You can also go to www.delettagillespie.net. Or just purchase a CD, which will be available on April 30 at iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon.com, and other online retailers. Ten percent of all CD sales will also go to The Samaritan Women.
Additional proceeds go to the Spiritual Empowerment Center-Baltimore, a member of the Centers for Spiritual Living.
Thanks so much for your support!
