Add-Ons
SHEILA E. IN CONCERT:
Legendary singer, percussionist, and Prince protégé Sheila E. continues to bring the funk nearly three decades after her debut. In 2013 she released Sheila E ICON, her first album of new material since 2001's Heaven, proving she remains firmly in the groove with rhythmically stunning tracks like "Girl Like Me" and "The Leader of the Band", which was co-written by the Purple One himself. A seasoned performer who's as comfortable soloing on the guitar as she is on the drums, Sheila E. never fails to dazzle on her hit-filled tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
California-born Sheila E., a.k.a. Sheila Escovedo, comes from a long line of accomplished musicians that includes her percussionist father and punk rocker uncle. She made her recording debut as a drummer on Alphonso Johnson's 1976 track "Yesterday's Dreamin'", and by her early twenties had played with legends like Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross. In 1978 she met Prince, launching a career-defining collaboration that led to her breakout success as a solo artist in the mid-'80s with Prince-penned hits like "The Glamorous Life", "The Belle of St. Mark", and "A Love Bizarre". With the release of her seventh album Sheila E ICON in 2013, Sheila E. displayed the same rhythmic mastery and stunning vocals that made her a star, building anticipation among ticket buyers for her next unforgettable show.

Sheila E's show at the Berchmere in VA was absolutely phenomenal! It was energetic, the crowd was very much engaged and just love was throughout the entire show. There was one particular piece that stayed with me.. we all had something in common for the reason that we were there. It was to witness this extraordinary event. The love we have for the music brought us all together. The talent of her band. She talked to the crowd and gave special attention to what may have been the youngest and eldest of fans in the audience. We sang all the jams with her included Love Bizarre, Holly Rock, Koo Hoo, Baby I'm a Star and of course Glamorous Life. I do think my favorite was the Purple Rain rendition.. which we we all was back up singers. I was in just over ecstatic..... it was like a dream I have since I was kid as I have ALWAYS been a fan. So happy I was able to witness and feel the joy throughout the show. I would advise anyone, fan or not if you are able to get to a performance... go see her show!! If you are a fan.... you will enjoy it that much more!!!!! Just Awesome!!!!
Had a great time at Clearwater watching Sheila E. Venue was great, Sheila E was amazing. So glad we went.
Overall it was a great concert. Was looking forward to having people on stage like last year, but it didn't happen; however, SHELIA did walk through the crowd and walked down the set of chairs where I was at, which was amazing. Was hoping for a encore, but even though there wasn't one, it was still a great performance from ALL the band members. I am glad to see her going strong in her sixties((like me)) and that her father is also going strong in his eighties. Thank you. Blessings to all.
Sheila E and her band were amazing! I would definitely see her again!!!
Sheila E. Is an amazing performer and along with her band brought an amazing energy to the event center. Her genuine interest in the audience is apparent and the love was reciprocated throughout the night as she delighted us with a mix of her old songs, Prince songs and some other old school favorites. If she ever plays in your area, go!
Truly an epic show!!! It was more than I even expected. The audience participation part and the sheer talent was a spectacle!

Sheila E is a timeless gem. A great performance and really makes her audience take a journey with her during the show. I even got a video of her (saved forever)as she walked through the crowd. My friends are jealous 🤣
