Let us tell you right now, you do NOT want to miss out on this!

FREE SHOTS, GIVEAWAYS, FOOD SPECIALS, DRINK SPECIALS, LIVE MUSIC, CONTESTS, FUN, AND MUCH MORE!!

​Yes!  
You read it correctly!

​Like the soul singers of the past, her music combines elements of Gospel, R&B, and Jazz, but what keeps her unclassifiable is her personal technique of impelling the hearts of audiences with her voice.  In 2014, she sang her way into the hearts of America on ABC’s Rising Star.  

​On the day that I spoke with Shameia about her music, I recall her personality being as warm as her vocals. Her smile illuminated the room and she was completely humble, yet confident, in her musical abilities.  

After you've stuffed yourself with Thanksgiving dressing, come out to
St. James Live in Atlanta
and enjoy a night with
Chandra Currelley.
​
​The Smooth Chocolate Powerhouse Chandra Currelley brings her high powered show to one of her favorite venues...... St. James Live.  

Come along with When We Speak TV, to the Lone Star State for the annual Riverfront Jazz Festival, in Dallas, Texas, presented by Visit Dallas, The Black Academy of Arts and Letters, and many more great sponsors.
