Louis York
Louis York is the creation of multi-Grammy nominated songwriting and production duo Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony. With a discography that covers everything from Pop, R&B, Gospel, and Country, they’ve created for icons like Michael & Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion; Chart toppers Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus; R&B Divas Fantasia, Ledisi, Jazmine Sullivan, and more. In 2015, they created their label Weirdo Workshop and when stepping behind the mic for the first time in their careers, they threw out every rule the business has told them to follow. It doesn’t matter how long, how many transitions or how many genres, Kelly and Harmony found themselves searching for one thing, and one thing alone – GREAT ART. Louis York has pushed the envelope with their music to include themes of love, acceptance, and social awareness that culminated into an EP trilogy called Masterpiece Theater: Act I, Act II, Act III. They’ve played in cities all across the country packing venues leaving attendees in amazement with their creativity, energy and stage presence always wanting more.
The Shindellas
Beatnik group The Shindellas are a female band formed under the belief that when women come together, powerful things can happen. The Shindellas are comprised of three brilliantly talented women, Kasi Jones (Singer), Stacy Johnson (Singer/Guitarist) and Tamara Chauniece (Singer). Each member was introduced by multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated, songwriting and production duo, Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly, also known as the progressive band Louis York. The Shindellas explore Jazz, Soul and true R&B to create a unique genre of music for their audience. They are proponents of self-love, empowerment, and elegance, which are tenets they work hard to spread through their music.
