A star of the Canadian soul scene is getting set to take to the stage at Shadbolt Centre.
Tanika Charles is onstage on Wednesday, Nov. 28.
The Edmonton-raised performer released her debut full-length album Soul Run in April 2017, through Italian funk-soul label Record Kicks – an album that was nominated for a Polaris Music Prize and a 2017 Juno for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year. She has quickly become a staple of the Canadian soul scene with a sound described as “classic soul and heavy drums, without the need for retro crutches.”
Charles has been performing since 2010, backed by her band The Wonderfuls at festivals like NXNE, Pop Montreal, CBC Music Fest, TD Toronto Jazz Fest and more.
Following the release of Soul Run, she embarked on a successful 12-city Canadian tour from Montreal to Vancouver, and, in 2017, she made her theatrical debut in the touring production Freedom Singer.
Charles’ Shadbolt Centre show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40. Buy through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or 604-205-3000.
