Sun, Sep 17, 2:30 PM Washington Mutual Stage Stage
As the National Director for Gospel Talent for House of Blues Entertainment, Sylvia St. James has the honor of booking the best gospel acts in the country for the national restaurant chains acclaimed Sunday Gospel Brunch. As a powerful vocalist with decades of performing experience in her own right both as a solo artist and, for two years in the late-70s, as a member of the Los Angeles funk and soul vocal quartet Side Effect shes served as lead vocalist and Chief Mistress of Ceremonies at many of those affairs. St. James has also lent her heavenly pipes to many a TV and film score, and was called upon to assemble a choir for rap superstar Kanye Wests performance of Jesus Walks on the nationally televised Hurricane Katrina benefit concert. What it all adds up to is, this is a woman who knows great gospel music when she hears it, and she can serve it up herself with the best of them.
