CELESTE

Gospel Soloist
Celeste has shared the gospel through music for over twenty years in churches, women’s and men’s groups, seniors’ functions, churches, outdoor concerts, prisons and just about anywhere that she is invited to sing “the Gospel.” She has a diverse range of music styles and a wide vocal range that allows her to be relevant and sensitive to the music preferences of audiences that invariably span the generations.

Whether you are looking for a singer to share a few songs or a longer program she is available to sing at your community lunch/dinner program, club function or minister in your church service.

Sentimental Journey
Take a trip down memory lane with this one-hour musical journey with hits from the ‘30’s right up to 2000’s. Celeste often mingles gospel music throughout this program that begins and ends with Sentimental Journey a song written by Bud Green, Les Brown and Ben Homer and made famous by Doris Day. Then, moves on through the decades with other favorites like Billy Hill’s The Glory of Love; I’ve Got a Crush On You by Ira & George Gershwin; and music by - the late great Patsy Cline; Linda Ronstadt; rock’n’roll favorites Buddy Holly, Elvis The Beatles and many other loved artists. She pays tribute to Louis Armstrong with an inviting arrangement of What a Wonderful World. Written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss in the studio as a filler song just before the great Satchmo recorded it with his band, Bob also produced the session. No one could have ever imagined that the song would go to Number 1 in the Billboard pop charts over ten years later; Kansas’ Dust in the Wind and many other songs made famous through the years by your favorite artists.

These programs are performed solo using her own sound equipment and band tracks. If your organization is looking for a band or other artists to join in please checkout the Gospel Concert or Celtic band Claddagh that she is a part of.
