The Suga Mamas: Beyonce’s All-Girl Band

If you’ve been to a Beyonce concert within the past few years or have seen her perform live on TV, you’ve most likely noticed the lovely ladies behind the instruments, locking down the groove. These ladies would be the Suga Mamas, Beyonce’s all-girl band.

We were fortunate to catch up with a few of them while they were in Philadelphia during their US tour. Marcie Chapa, percussionist, Kim Thompson, drummer, Tia Fuller, sax, and keyboardist, Brittani Washington spoke with us about everything from their experiences growing up to the importance of networking and their advice for your music career.

Esperanza Spalding, Jazz Bassist & Vocalist

From Berklee student, to Berklee instructor, to jazz phenominon, Esperanza Spalding’s story is inspiring to musicians everywhere.

After a gig with Joe Lovano, we got a chance to sit down with her at the Village Vanguard in New York City so she could share some of her story and advice. Coincidently, this was right before the release of her album and amazing rise to the top of the jazz charts. We were honored to have the privilege.
