Massey Theatre presents Coco Love Alcorn & Khari Wendell McClelland A Powerful Evening of Soul & Gospel

The Massey Theatre presents a thrilling double bill of two dynamic performers, Coco Love Alcorn and Khari Wendell McClelland team up and create a combination of spirited and joyful sounds. Both known for their extraordinary voices, these two original artists will provide an unforgettable evening of soul and gospel.

Coco Love Alcorn's career has spanned over 20 years, 10 albums, cross-Canada tours, collaborations, festival appearances, award nominations and notable success in TV and film. She was influenced by a combination of diverse musical genres including jazz, pop, RNB, and folk and includes artists as Charlie Park, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. With this combination of diverse musical influences she creates joyful soul music with songs that spring from her personal journey, but are true to her nature. The press has hailed her voice as extraordinary, beautiful, and stunning.

Khari Wendell McClelland is a diversely talented and ever-evolving musician. Khari's songwriting crosses genres and generations, invoking the spirit of his ancestors who straddled the United States-Canada border in efforts to escape slavery and discrimination. His music draws from this rich history, integrating the rhythms and folklore of early African-Americans with contemporary sounds and stories of struggle. Khari's performances are evocative and confirm how powerful his voice and stage presence are. It has been said "he sings as if he swallowed an amplifier, reaching the last seats in the room with operatic clarity". Khari's poetic mind and open heart are omni-present in his genre-defying music.

The evening promises to be an exceptional night in the theatre as an 80-member choir joins these two talents for a portion of the concert.
