Grammy Nominee and Isis Storm Artists Close Sultry & Sweet Music Series in Providence, RI: TONIGHT, Saturday, November 27, 7-10 PM

GRAMMY NOMINEE PERFORMS TONIGHT IN PROVIDENCE, 7-10 PM at State Ultra Lounge, 1 Throop Alley in Providence, RI.

PROVIDENCE, RI – Join Washington DC-based Grammy-nominated musician and progressive hip hop artist, Christylez Bacon, for his special return to Providence, Rhode Island: TONIGHT, Saturday, November 27, from 7-10 PM at State Ultra Lounge (1 Throop Alley, off of North Main Street in Providence).  He’ll be performing alongside New England Urban Music award nominee and jazz vocalist Michelle Cruz, and me, Reza Clifton (Reza Rites / Venus Sings / DJ Reza Wreckage), Diversity in the Media award-winning producer and co-founder of the female artist collective, Isis Storm.  Tonight's event will also include poetry and an introduction by Isis Storm co-founder, local hip hop femcee and recording artist, 5th Elament, and hosting duties performed by Jessica "J9" Coulter.

Tonight's event is the second part of a two-day music series that is happening at State Ultra Lounge, which is located near Rhode Island School of Design near downtown, Providence.  “Sultry and Sweet,” a concept created by Clifton that debuted earlier this year – also at State - is designed to provide a stage to spoken word artists, (eclectic) hip hop artists, soul singers, and other performers that appeal to those wanting to hear more romance and passion in their music and poetry.  This time around, it was extended to two days, and performances included those by poets who teamed up with two area house music dj’s for a night when “House Music [Met] Spoken Word Poetry.”

Bacon, the headlining act for November 27, performed in RI in January 2010 as part of Funda Fest, an annual festival organized by the Rhode Island Black Storytellers.  Making a departure from kid-friendly selections like the ones he shared earlier this year and like those from the children's album that brought him Grammy-acclaim, tonight, he will include songs from his album, "Advanced Artistry," and from his soon-to-be released CD.  Cruz and 5th Elament will also perform pieces from their respective albums, The Recovery and Thru the Muck, both of which were released this past fall.
