Jewlz & The Essence Band

Jewlz: The Music of Teena Marie, Tina Turner & More

Winner of a famed Apollo Theater amateur-night contest in 2014, R&B singer-songwriter Jewlz has since scored gigs at some of the hottest clubs in New York and L.A., including the Village Underground and The Bitter End. For this special appearance at Cafe Wha? this engaging entertainer and her Essence Band pay tribute to some of the greatest female vocalists that've ever taken the stage, including Teena Marie, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan and the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, who was chosen by "Rolling Stone" magazine as the greatest singer of all time -- man or woman.
