This debut jam session will be headlined by the incomparable phenom, Erykah Badu aka DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown, who will provide a DJ set as well as a soulful performance. The acclaimed all-female DC Go-Go Band Be’la Dona will serve as the official band for the tour, and Los Angeles’ very own organically soulful trio, King (who recently opened for Prince), will bring their hypnotic harmonies to this one of a kind music celebration honoring women.

The BLACK GIRLS ROCK! & SOUL TOUR will provide an essential platform for dynamic women in music and will feature both emerging and established artists.  Bond states, “I created this tour to showcase the many brilliant and talented women of color from various music genres and to help these artists get the recognition that they so deserve. This tour gives BLACK GIRLS ROCK! the opportunity to support cutting edge talent and to also celebrate highly regarded artists who bring the best of our music culture to the mainstream.”
