The performance is part of a six-city concert tour in Minnesota and Michigan through American Public Media’s Troubadour Program.
Jearlyn Steele is a provoking singer whose voice seeks to uplift, inspire and release the senses of the soul -- a true "soul" singer. She can often be heard as a special guest on A Prairie Home Companion, and she appeared in Robert Altman’s 2006 film of the same name. More than a decade ago, Jearlyn, along with her siblings, The Steeles, began a successful run of the pop/gospel musical Gospel at Colonus, which made its way to Carnegie Hall. She has sung in countless venues, including the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts and the Guthrie Theater. A mother of two, Jearlyn has branched out to become more involved in creating ways to affect women and children’s lives in a positive way through music and public speaking.
Kids (18 and under) are admitted free of charge with any paid adult ticket!
