Based out of Charlotte, NC, this multi-talented singer-songwriter is known for her star-quality and heartfelt tunes — think India Arie meets Alicia Keys with introspective lyrical content and music that infuses her multi-instrumentalist capabilities on guitar and piano. She's currently campaigning in support of her 3rd full-length album, "Metamorphosis: The Evolution of Arsena" with it's debut single, “With or Without You”. ARSENA says writing this project meant shedding a former and less authentic version of herself that’s evident in songs like "With or Without You", “I Don’t Know My Name Anymore”, & “Gotta Be More”. She'll be joined on stage by pianist Howard McNair Jr. and trumpet by Harmon Keenan. www.arsenamusic.com Adayla: Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Adayla developed a passion for music at a early age. She gravitated towards the music of Disney movies. She realized while watching Disney’s Pocahontas, “I could pull that off” and since then she hasn’t stopped developing her talent. At age 9, she auditioned for The Charlotte Children’s Choir under Director Sandy Holland. While singing and touring with the CCC from ages 9 to 18, she found a place where she could really be herself. Known for her honeyed words and feathery notes, Adayla’s singing style is influenced by musical artists such as Sade, Lara Fabian, BoA, Erykah Badu, Utada Hikaru, The Carpenters Brandy, Jhene Aiko, and Janet Jackson. Food Trucks: Island Boyz Kreationz Food Truck and Primal Brewery + Plus a special performance from the Hopewell High Jazz Ensemble! Bring lawn chairs and blankets and cash /card for artist merch!
