Deanna Carroll, who for years toured as Dianna Ross in Lady Supreme, is joined by incredible background singers, bringing the songs of the most iconic Ladies of Soul to life. Their show,

Kelly and so many more. 
This is feel good music, that will have you singing along and on your feet, dancing to hits that will appeal to many generations of music lovers. This is a band that will never forget its roots in Motown and classic R&amp;B, but continues the audiences journey forward, as they pay homage to the&nbsp;most recent decades of soulful hits made famous by the next generations of superstars.
