Event details
Songbird Eva Cassidy touched the hearts and lives of so many but ironically, her fame rose upon her death. An artist that could not be pigeonholed into one genre, Miss Cassidy took it upon herself to interpret an array of songs from different genres in the form of jazz, soul, blues, pop, folk and gospel. Songs that she related to, songs that she believed in and songs that she made her own.
Nardia Brancatiso is an award-winning singer-songwriter who recently earned a Top 5 spot at the 2025 International Blues Challenge in Memphis – standing out as the only female artist to make it in the finals among 400 acts. This achievement solidified her status as a global force. With a harmonic ear for music, seasoned in the genres of Jazz, soul, blues & RNB, Nardia wields her vocal range with intensity & musical prowess often blowing the roof off with her breathtaking voice.
Since Memphis, things have moved quickly and she has garnered international attention and has finished recording her new RNB-Soul album between Nashville and Memphis, which is set to release this September — Her new song 'Is it You' is playing worldwide and made it to top #19 on the global charts.
