This matinee act is supercharged with entertaining energy.
Recognized as one of Los Angeles' premiere a Capella vocal groups, Renaissance takes their audience on a nostalgic, musical journey; singing songs of joy, hope, love and redemption. Their repertoire consists of creative covers of some of the legends of Doo Wop and Soul Music including The Drifters, The Moon Glows, Sam Cooke, The Orioles, Clyde McPhatter, Pookie Hudson and the Spaniels, and so many more. This group is on a mission to preserve an important American musical art form: "Street Corner Doo Wop/A Capella" singing, and in their own, cool, creatively unique and soulful style, are doing all they can to accomplish this goal. Comprised of founding members Maurice Kitchen, Torre Brannon Reese, and Kwame Alexander, over time these core members teamed up with Anthony Snead and Charles (Sonny) Banks of the trio "Banks Epps & Snead". Their new CD, "Meet Me on the Corner," has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm and has had great success. Not just another singing group, Renaissance intertwines social and cultural themes in their music offering "food for the spirit" as well as the soul.
