| Nekita Waller will perform at Russell Library on Thursday, January 24 at 7:00pm |
On Thursday, January
24, 2019 at 7:00pm, our
new state troubadour, Nekita Waller, and a five piece band will celebrate
Martin Luther King, Jr. Songs include inspirational pieces in a classic soul
style. During the evening, actor Michael Scott will also present a reading of a
piece by MLK.
A Middletown
native, Nekita Waller won an award for singing at the Buttonwood Tree when she
was just ten years old. Part of her mission as Connecticut State
Troubadour is to connect with and inspire children to find their own voices. She is
currently working with Oddfellows Playhouse to develop a show with their Teen
Repertory Company for spring of 2019. She also is hosting their Teen Talent
Search on January 19th for 12-19 year olds.
Nekita performs
throughout the region bringing a mix of pop, Motown, soul, Jazz and classic
rock favorites with original music. She is the first non-folk musician to be
appointed as the Connecticut State Troubadour.
This concert is
sponsored by the Friends of the Russell Library. Like all programs at the
library, it is free and open to all.
