“Goddess” Cheryl Renee Blesses Music@BCM with Alfresco Blues Next Thursday

COVINGTON, KY – The “Goddess of the Blues” returns to Behringer-Crawford Museum on Thursday, August 13 for the finale to the 2020 Music@BCM concert series.

The Cincinnati-born Renee, a multitalented vocalist, keyboardist and bandleader, teams up with longtime co-performer Shorty “Pullie” Starr on drums and back-up vocals for the first — and the last — live outdoor concert of the summer in the BCM amphitheater in Devou Park.  The “Cheryl and Shorty Show” will also be live-streamed on the Behringer-Crawford Museum Facebook page: www.facebook.com/BCMuseumnky.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, attendance at the live Music@BCM concert at the museum is limited to 50 people. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling 859-727-3935.
