Lakisha Jones Comes To Feinstein's 6/14

FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post, will continue its all-star Spring 2010 season with the New York concert debut of LaKisha Jones, the "American Idol" finalist and star of Broadway's The Color Purple, on Monday, June 14. For her show at Feinstein's, Ms. Jones will present an evening of music from "American Idol" favorites and Broadway hits to classic standards and selections from her debut CD, So Glad I'm Me. The show, which features a four-piece band, will be performed at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street).

LaKisha Jones is best known to millions of TV viewers as a top four finalist during the 2007 season of "American Idol." During her performances on the show, Lakisha caught the eye of Broadway producers and was soon singing on the Broadway stage in Oprah Winfrey's Tony Award-winning musical The Color Purple. During her three-month run, she played two roles: a "church lady" and one of the pivotal main characters, "Sophia." The latter role she alternated with R&B icon Chaka Khan.

Raised by her mother and grandmother, Lakisha was influenced by such legendary singers as Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle and Whitney Houston, but it was Jones' 92-year-old grandmother who left the most lasting impression on the fledgling singer. It was at her urging that a five-year-old Jones began singing in church choirs and music programs. Her first solo album So Glad I'm Me features collaborations with hit-making songwriter and producers Tony Nicholas (Patti LaBelle, Gerald Levert, Luther Vandross), Ro & Sauce (Brandy, Ne-Yo), Greg Curtis (Keyshia Cole, Yolanda Adams) and Chris Black (Yolanda Adams).

FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY will present LaKisha Jones on Monday, June 14 at 8:30 PM. The show has a $30.00 cover, with $50.00 premium seats available, and an additional $25.00 food and beverage minimum. Jackets are suggested but not required. FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY is located at 540 Park Avenue at 61st Street in New York City.
