Chrisette Michele. She’s got all the ingredients for a talented R&B singer: a little soul, folk, hip-hop, jazz and blues. Looking at the positive hits her debut CD “I Am” is getting, talent sells.

Belmont-Sheffield Music Festival. Don’t wear your favorite sandals or outfit for that matter. There will be tons of people, strolling, eating, drinking and inevitably spilling. So, you know something’s getting on you. But, the bands are always good.
