Grammy 'Best New Artist' Nominee Ledisi Performs At Musicares Gala And East Coast Shows

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Verve Records) - It's a terrific time for GRAMMY nominated 'Best New Artist' Ledisi. The rising soul star is confirmed to honor another powerhouse voice at this year's MusiCares Person of the Year gala recognizing Aretha Franklin on February 8th. Following that show and the GRAMMY Awards, she'll return to the east coast with a full band for shows in Philadelphia, DC and New York City.

True to the title of her two-time GRAMMY nominated album Ledisi was 'Lost and Found' (Verve). The soul phenomenon came close to quitting show biz after years of hard work and rejection. Luckily, she persevered and is now nominated for the GRAMMYs 'Best New Artist' and 'Best R Album' for her major label debut. Ledisi says the following of her overdue recognition: "I feel vindicated because every decision I made has been worth it." (MTV.com, 12.12.07)

Already respected and adored from the cutting edge of today's black music underground, Ledisi has been one of its most inspiring independent spirits. Overflowing with deeply touching songs of love and life, 'Lost and Found' depicts intimate snapshots of relationships that linger in the mind long after the last note has been sung.

Wednesday, February 13th * Philadelphia, PA * World Cafe Live
Thursday, February 14th * Washington, DC * Constitution Hall
