The Collaboration Band is an extraordinary gathering of veteran musicians dedicated to the authentic playing of soul, R&B and Motown music. Each member brings years of experience: Ms. Verceal Whitaker, former lead vocalist with the Platters, soars above a band where everybody sings; Willie Miller lends the big pocket of his drumming plus lead and background vocals; on guitar and vocals, we have Steve LaValley; Joshua Townsend adds his tasty keyboards and vocals; Alonzo Smith (aka Zo) provides vocals and the funky bottom. In addition, there will be three feature artists for this show: Mike Caddy, lead vocalist for the Cleveland philharmonic; Trez Gregory, former background vocalist for Brooks & Dunn; and Steve E. Geroge, who was inducted in the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame. This is music meant to be heard and felt, and when Collaboration plays it, you’re going to feel it!
