Deeply steeped in the generations of great Jazz and Blues that centers the rich musical legacy of Detroit, Shahida Nurullah is one of the motor city’s premier and most treasured jazz vocalists.
Her outstanding musical intelligence is vibrantly reflected through a versatile repertoire that includes blues, jazz, samba, bossa nova, show tunes and more. Shahida performed in the inaugural festival with Kenn Cox and the Guerilla Jam Band. She performed an American Songbook concert with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra and as a guest vocalist with the Preservation Hall Band at Preservation Hall New Orleans, LA. Shahida and her trio regularly play at clubs throughout southeastern Michigan, including The Dirty Dog Jazz Café and Cliff Bell’s.
Shahida recorded and performed with internationally lauded Detroit pianist Geri Allen’s band Open on All Sides throughout Europe. The New York Times lauded her performance with Allen at New York’s Knitting Factory and she is a recipient of the Spirit of Detroit Award.
Get ready for a set of songs from the 60’s and 70’s that you haven’t heard “in forever.” It’s going to be fun!
