R&B Group SWV Bringing The Hits To Shreveport In 2024
Get Ready For The First Big R&B Concert Of The New Year!
2023 was a big year for R&B as all year long we saw some of the biggest stars perform in celebration of anniversaries of their biggest albums. That trend will continue in 2024 as the first big show of the year will be going down in nearby Shreveport!
With a career that spans over three decades and 30+ million records sold, SWV continues to be the voice of a new generation.
In 1990, SWV (Sisters With Voices) was formed in New York by Cheryl “Coko” Gamble, Tamara “Taj” George and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons.
All three vocalists sang in church as children, where they learned their signature vocal harmonies that later became synonymous with the group in the 1990s.
Grammy-nominated record exec Kenny Ortiz heard their early demo and soon after signed SWV to RCA. Ortiz introduced them to Brian Morgan who wrote and produced songs on their debut album, It's About Time, which went double platinum within its first year of release.
The album features hit songs "Right Here/Human Nature," a Michael Jackson sampling remix credited to Teddy Riley (BLACKstreet, Guy) and “Weak”, both of which went to #1 on the R&B Billboard charts, and “I’m So Into You” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot R&B / Hip-Hop chart and was certified Gold.
Their follow-up albums New Beginning and Release Some Tension were certified Platinum and Gold, containing hit singles “Rain,” “Someone,” “You’re The One,” and “Use Your Heart.”
The 4 time Grammy-nominated group was honored on VH1’s “100 Greatest Women in Music” list, nominated for an American Music Award and Source Award, won the Soul Train “Lady of Soul” award, and landed #7 on Billboard’s list of Top R&B acts and #2 on Billboard’s Top Selling/Airplay R&B Female Group of the 1990’s.
Also Performing Live, R&B Boy Band Troop.
And that's not all! There's more live performances from R&B stars Shilo and Delishia J.
The show jumps off Saturday January 13th at the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster by clicking the link here.
