Songstress and songwriter extraordinaire Joan Belgrave is rhythmically and melodically melding the worlds of Jazz, R&B and fundraising together Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. at Campus Martius Park in downtown Detroit as part of the Sunset in the City concert series.
Belgrave releases her new single Hey Love during the free concert sponsored by the Detroit 300 Conservancy and Campus Martius. She will be accompanied by her husband and jazz trumpet legend Marcus Belgrave. Hey Love is being released in partnership with Blue Rivers Records and begins an R&B journey for Joan preceded by many varied works and genres in Blues, Jazz, Gospel and Soul. Hey Love is a smooth, sultry and melodious R&B love song with jazz undertones.
Love for children and music has inspired Joan to fundraise for 4-year-old Julian, a cousin and victim of domestic abuse. Jazz for Julian is collaboration of live concerts with husband Marcus to raise funds for Julian’s care. Donations will be taken during the concert on Julian’s behalf.
The worldwide entertainer began her musical career singing in the choir of her Baptist church and studied classical voice. Joan’s near four decade musical career includes success as a vocalist, songwriter, producer and manager.
The Belgraves are headliners during the Detroit Jazz Festival in Hart Plaza this year. Joan’s CD will be available for purchase.
