About the artists:
Bringing back a fan favorite from the 2020 “Moonlight & Music” Valentine’s Day concert, the featured artist for this year is Keba. A Trinidad-born artist with rhythm in her blood, Keba’s soul-flavored songs are an exploration of becoming a self-made American woman. Her lyrics combine raw vulnerability with a playful exploration of love, femininity and identity as a first-generation immigrant and millennial.
Reminiscent of classic artists like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan, Keba’s musical flavor is a sensual fusion of Pop, R&B and Soul. With powerful vocals and an electrifying stage presence, she delivers live shows that move audiences to their feet.
Keba made her international stage debut as an opening act for Jill Scott and Kool & the Gang and has since performed at major festivals and events in the United States as well as Portugal, France, England and Spain.
In celebration of the Deering Estate’s Stone House Centennial, with a tip of the hat to the 1920s, this year’s concert will open with The French Horn Collective. The French Horn Collective is an energetic and progressive band that performs an eclectic variety of Gypsy Jazz, Traditional Jazz, French Standards, Original Compositions, and Hot Swing. Led by Vincent Raffard on the trumpet, guitar and French vocals, and joined by other amazing musicians and American Jazz vocalist Shira Lee.
The Deering Estate is located at 16701 SW 72 Ave. in Palmetto Bay.
