INTRODUCING L. A. YOUNG

The Steel Mill Blues reverberate in L. A. Young's musical roots, marked at the crossroads of the decline of American steel manufacturing, the struggles of racial integration, and the broken dreams of the working class in post 1960s Ohio. Working alongside her father and brother, a second generation steel worker, L. A. became the first female crane operator in the steel industry by age 18. L. A.'s gut level love of blues, R&B, funk and Soul was forged in the 3,000 degree heat blasting out of a steel furnace. You can feel it in the way she cuts through peoples' emotions, belting out vocals from her soul.


What musical genre defines L. A.? L A grew up in a musical household as the youngest child surrounded by 6 siblings. L. A.'s dad steeped in American Roots music spent endless Sundays tutoring her in Bluegrass, Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, Classic Rock, Soul, Funk, Alternative and Jazz--you name it. L. A.'s desire to become a vocalist started early drawing inspiration from her first cousins, The Staple Singers. Her parents encouraged her to play every wind instrument and percussion and illustrating her talent and diversity, she played high school basketball and is in the Woman's Basketball Hall of Fame.

L. A. also grew up in the midst of a musical revolution in 1980s Ohio; the epicenter of Funk--a fusion of R&B, Rock and Blues--Funk defines so much of L. A.'s core raised on bands including Cameo, the Ohio Players, Lakeside and Dazzband. But it was not just Funk, she was heavily influenced by MoTown and Pop. L. A. has been described as Chaka Kahn meets Phylis Hyman. Phyllis, however, is L. A.'s alter ego; a contralto, L. A. possesses a haunting similarity to her alto range, timbre and love of ballads with lyrics that tug at your heart.


L. A. is complex like the environment she grew up in. As a toddler L. A. already felt the sting of racism. Her parents, born poor Southerners, wanted every opportunity for their children so they literally moved across the tracks into a white middle class neighborhood. A toddler standing on her porch, L. A. vividly remembers white neighbors approaching her mother with a petition, asking her why they would want to live where they are not wanted. But her parents taught her understanding and the twin lessons of race and social class moved her not to hate but to a lifelong love of people--all people--at the center of L A's bond with every audience and with all of her fans.

As American manufacturing moved off shore, Elkem Metals, where L. A. had worked from her late teens to adulthood, closed its doors. In 1993, confronted with a life of factory labor in a dying town, L A went with her heart and embarked on a career as a vocalist, leaving Ashtabula, Ohio for Maryland with her two young children. Longing to sing with a band, L. A. went to every open mic night all over Maryland winning every contest she entered, earning over $100,000. Auditioning several times, L. A. finally hooked up with Dublin Soul, renamed Joy Ride. By 2001 it was time to move on--L. A. formed her own band, The Unusual Suspects, playing at festivals, private gigs and clubs in the mid-Atlantic region.


L. A.'s immense talent hasn't gone unnoticed; she was invited to sing at President Clinton's second inaugural, for the Mayor of Baltimore and Governor of Maryland and at the Baltimore Marathon. L. A. sang at the Annapolis Blues Festival with the legendary Koko Taylor. L. A. has been headlining music festivals and has opened for After 7, Eric Roberson and Kayla Waters. She has appeared at the Horseshoe Casino on several occasions, and a 2018 two night New Years Eve performance at the Hollywood Casino, Charlestown Races L. A. is a frequent guest lead vocalist on other band's projects. In 2018, L A was the only vocalist nominated in three categories at the Maryland Music Awards--Artist of the Year, Best R&B vocalist and Best Jazz Vocalist


L. A. has recorded in the studio with members of the great jazz band, Pieces of A Dream. L. A. is currently recording original tracks written and produced by multiple Grammy nominee, Jonathan Lesane with the Grainger Brothers, Greg and Gary. Her new original, No One Can Love You More has been released simultaneously throughout the UK, the EU and N America October 10, 2018 charting at #12 on the UK Jazz and Soul charts and 15 straight weeks at #2 followed by 43 weeks at #1 on multiple UK FM global affiliates. She now has a second #1 hit for twelve weeks on UK FM radio, The Woman in Me and the #2 hit Dr Feelgood. She is nominated on Connecticut radio 89.5 FM for "Live Performance of the Year" and for "Artist of the Year." L A is recording several original songs for a forthcoming CD including songs by multi Grammy nominee, Vinnie Barrett. In addition, L. A. is touring to rave reviews for her her acclaimed musical biography--The Phyllis Hyman Experience.


LA Young recently opened for Frederick Anthony Jackson, an American singer. Originally from New York, Jackson began his professional music career in the late 1970s with the California funk band Mystic Merlin. Among his well-known R&B/soul hits are "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" (1985), "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" (1986), "Jam Tonight" (1986), "Do Me Again" (1990), and "You Are My Lady" (1985).[4] He contributed to the soundtrack for the 1989 film, All Dogs Go to Heaven with the Michael Lloyd-produced duet "Love Survives" alongside Irene Cara. He also appeared in the movie King of New York.


Also for 2021, LA Young will be recording original music with the legendary Norman Connors. Connors is an American jazz drummer, composer, arranger, and producer who has led some influential jazz and R&B groups. He also achieved several big R&B hits of the day, especially with love ballads. He is possibly best known for the 1976 hit, "You Are My Starship" on which lead vocals were sung by Michael Henderson.

Dave Krug/Sax

The seductive yet unpretentious sound from saxophonist Dave Krug couldn't come at a better time. As a new generation of smooth jazz and jazz artists take the reins, distinct voices and fresh elements are needed in pushing the genre forward he is no exception and seeks to redefine the smooth jazz genre. Dave's sound was born between two worlds: one, his family's ties to music; the other, his years spent playing and recording with various artists and groups along the Mid-Atlantic east coast. He is currently living in Washington DC, writing music, and close to debuting his first EP, Breakout. Dave has played with Drew Davidsen, Kevin Jackson and the Richard Walton Group at notable venues and festivals including Blues Alley, Bethesda Blues and Jazz Club, Baltimore Inner Harbor, Catalina Island Jazz Festival, Pensacola Florida Jazz Festival, Berks Jazz Fest, Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival, and the Meyerhoff Theater. 

Kevin Walker/Bass

Kevin got his big break in high school while in his first band, The Wiz of Us. Roy Pope, vice principal of the school, was the brother of the musical director for Wilson Pickett. One day Roy received a call from his brother saying Wilson's bass player was sick and that they needed a bass player right away. With permission from his mom Kevin was only 14 he flew to Texas and did the gig that weekend. From there, he started touring with Wilson Pickett every weekend.  Kevin has performed with Wilson Pickett, Patti LaBelle, Jodeci, Regina Belle, Pieces of a Dream, Najee, Angela Bofill, Tevon Campbell, Aaliyah, Marion Meadows, Justin Timberlake, Prince, Chaka Kahn, Ledisi, Mike Phillips, Jeff Lorber, Brian Culbertson, Candy Dulpher, and more. One of his biggest musical thrills was playing for the first time with Prince at a party after a Madison Square Garden gig. Prince's bass player, Larry Graham was no where to be found, so the drummer and Kevin's friend, Kirk Johnson, said, get on the bass and just fill in, cause we've got to start now. Eventually, Prince turned around and was shocked to see Walker playing bass; Kevin ended up taking a solo.

Morgan Cotton/Drums

I am a self taught drummer. I have been playing drums since I was 3 years old. I picked up sticks and my parents bought me a drum set; I never stopped playing since then. I learned to read music in middle school but I learned to play from memory.  I am a student at Morgan state and I have played drums with all Morgan State University bands. My favorite drummer is Dennis Chambers.  My favorite music genres are Gospel, R&B Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop.  I joined L. A. and The Unusual Suspects this year. I like the music that L A and the band performs, it's different, I've never played this variety of music before. L A picks some great but not often heard songs that make the band unique and not just a cover band.  One of the songs I love to play with this band is the psychedelic/soul sound--the funky Like Yesterday, written and performed by the west coast band, the Monophonics. 

Acclaim

On Saturday, August 24, I attended La Young's tribute to the great Phyllis Hyman called The Phyllis Hyman Experience. Ms. Young's UK Soul hit, a remake of Hyman's No One Can Love You More has been on the UK charts for 31 weeks, and is regularly featured on both of my radio shows, Jazz and Soul on Ice on WPKN 89.5 FM in Bridgeport, CT and Jazz on Ice on FOSR101FM.com based in Sparks, Nevada.


I consider myself a Hymanite, an avid fan of Phyllis Hyman. I have regularly done tributes to her on my shows around the anniversary of her birth and death, and so I was obviously intrigued when I learned that LA Young was rolling out a tribute to her in April of 2019. I missed that show, but vowed to attend this one. I came for an experience. Man, oh man, it was MORE than an experience.


This was not a cover show. It was not an ordinary tribute show. Ms. Young did not just mimic or imitate Phyllis Hyman. Instead, using visual imagery, dramatic storytelling, costume changes and her dynamic performance and vocals, she wove a beautiful and elegant tapestry of Phyllis Hymans life, covering all eras of her music, including her Broadway run with Sophisticated Ladies.


I fell in love with Young while she sang my favorite Phyllis Hyman song, Meet me on the Moon. I was mesmerized. Her broad vocal range and expert use of the microphone resulted in the smooth, sultry Contralto sounds that made you believe, for just one night, that the Queen was alive and among us.


Young's band, The Unusual Suspects, were unusually talented and not the least bit suspect at all. They were led by Musical Director and Keyboardist, Moe Daniels, whose virtuoso keyboard play was beyond phenomenal. He switched from full strings, to full horns, to xylophone, to piano and back to strings, with such amazing deftness you were looking to see if there hidden orchestral sections behind the curtain.


Saxophonist David Krug and backup Vocalist Tabitha Brooks were also outstanding and complemented Young's lead vocals. Krug's alto and soprano sax play would have made Pharaoh Sanders and Norman Connors proud and Brooks background vocals can only be described as angelic. Brooks played off Young so well, I was shocked to learn later she had just been hired a few weeks earlier. She sang with joy and enthusiasm and her engaging smile drew you in and kept you focused and immersed in the experience.


The Anacostia Playhouse is a terrific venue and the hosts were quite hospitable and accommodating. The sold-out shows were a result tremendous talent intersecting with great marketing and an inviting venue. I hope to support more of their programs soon. We need more venues like this around the country.


Young closed the experience with the chart topping, No One Can Love You More written by the late songwriter/producer Skip Scarborough. It was magical to have the legendary Alton McClain Scarborough, phenomenal vocalist and wife of the late songwriter/producer Skip Scarborough sing the final song with Young, and the most satisfying way to lower the curtain on this dramatic performance.


The Phyllis Hyman Experience was worth every mile I traveled from Connecticut to DC. If the show comes to a city near you in the future I highly recommend it, especially if you are a Hymanite. If you do decide to attend, please tell LA, The Doctor sent you.

On April 5th I went to see L A Young and the Unusual Suspects perform The Phyllis Hyman Experience at the Langston Hughes Center in the Park Heights area. I must say that this show was terrific and far more than a tribute to the great Phyllis Hyman. The show includes acting, creative use of a digital wall to tell the story of Ms Hyman an ultra talented, yet tragic soul, and of course over 17 songs provided by Ms Young who was so AMAZING, in full Phyllis dress re-creating her life and music touching everyone's heart.


Those who know me will tell you that I can be very critical with regards to sound, lighting and production. I must say this production was first class all the way. Inside the show there were breaks where you hear the words of Phyllis (convincingly spoken on-screen voice-overs by Ms Young) as she talks about her life and career.


This is a show that everyone must see.

Gar Roberts, Manager, Pieces of a Dream

April 5th 2019 - I witnessed a truly magnificent performance by L A YOUNG feat. The Unusual Suspects @the Langston Hughes CBR Center in Baltimore, Md. The title of the show (The Phyllis Hyman Experience) was enough to stir my emotions, but when L A Young hit the stage w/her band & sent her vocal gift soaring over lush / funky musical arrangements...trust! I knew an astral journey had begun!(Kudos 2 production design crew as well) I'm telling U now L A Young is a whirlwind artist! She's a beautiful, truly gifted woman who can call spirits down & lift spirits up w/her singing & vibrant stage presence. Please experience the fabulous L A Young for ya self. You'll no doubt feel what I'm saying!!

Tonight I saw and heard the sounds of Ms Phyllis Hyman as she was cloned for 2-hours by the magic and voice of Ms L. A. YOUNG. This lady was impersonating PHYLLIS HYMAN to the 99% degree. WOW! She gave her concert at the Langston Hughes Business Center this evening.


If you hear that LA YOUNG is performing anywhere...run do not walk to get your ticket!!

I would like to take this time to thank you for your artist LA Young opening for After 7, Eric Roberson and Kayla Waters at the 21st Annual Baltimore County African American Culture Festival on September 16th. It was indeed a pleasure to work with her and listen to her amazing vocals. L A and her excellent band brought her jazzy blues sound that was missing in our lineup and I appreciate her talent and so did our 3000+ audience. At a later date I would like to talk about bringing her back for next year's event. Again thank you.


Sincerely,

Highly Recommend!


LA & the Unusual Suspects band is one of our best bands and has been performing at Lexington Market Lunchtime live Concert Series for many years.

I've contracted her to perform the last Saturday of each month 2013- 2015 because of the level of talent and the big draw of customers she attracts and look forward to doing the same in 2016. No other group is on that rotation or gets that many gigs at the market. So you know her talent is at a high level.

I highly recommend LA, she's a real crowd pleaser; knows how to get people moving, shaking and smiling. She would be a huge draw for any of your events in Baltimore.

New Release

"Go Get'er," the upcoming release from chart topping artist LaVelle Powell, is a smooth head bopper inspired by Powell's own indomitable will to succeed. The third Jazz single to be released by Powell this year, "Go Get'er", a culmination of Funk, Jazz, and Rythym & Blues is as motivating as it is relaxing to experience. Quite simply, "Go Get'er" was composed with one thing in mind, to remove audiences from whatever daily challenges they may face and instead focus on feeling good and pressing through those challenges all too familiar. Powell has injected his own optimistic personality in this track with the hope that it will rub off on everyone who hears it. "Go Get'er" has a release date of April 24th, 2020.
