Love Begins With YOU 2026
FEATURED PERFORMERS: ACUTE INFLECTIONS
Hailed as New York’s Premier Jazzy R&B duo, Acute Inflections combines soulful sounds and comedy in a unique way that will have you laughing, smiling and even singing along.
“A velvety mix of Erykah Badu & Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of her 007 on bass” is how one reviewer described Acute Inflections. New York’s Jazzy R&B duo, led by a former Broadway singer, has been featured on HBO and Amazon. They can often be found entertaining their clients (United Nations, Mercedes-Benz, etc.) at high-end events across the country and abroad. They have shared the stage with Jennifer Hudson, Sting, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and other notable artists at some of these celebrations. Their albums are always favorites on the jazz charts, and their shows are both fun and enchanting. Just prepare yourself, because these sassy artists love engaging their audiences!
If you like new, innovative, inspiring, daring, and fun entertainment, this is where you need to be!
