From the creative team of
Colin Stewart
and
Chris McHarge,
who brought us the sold-out run of
Rockin’ All Night
in 2018,
Soul Sisters
is another upbeat production that starts with music from Big Mama Thornton, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, and Gladys Knight, then weaves through the 60’s and 70’s with Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross and Tammi Terrell and shakes it up with contemporary hit-makers Tina Turner, Chaka Kahn, Sade, Whitney Houston and many more! These women blazed a trail in music that has inspired multiple generations. Audiences will be treated to incredible renditions of their most beloved songs!
Soul Sisters
features three amazing lead singers and a top-notch band! Taking the stage to embody the iconic singers in this walk down memory lane are,
Saveria D’ippolito, Tyanna Nikkita
and
Shane Philips.

Saveria D’ippolito
is a 22-year-old singer, songwriter and producer from London, Ontario. D’ippolito was exposed to many styles of music growing up and her voice reflects a smooth R&B quality with the infectious precision of pop music and an unmistakable psychedelic soul. She has already performed all over North America, making several notable radio and television appearances along the way.

Tyanna Nikkita
is a Toronto native who began her professional singing career at the age of 18. After studying Music Production at Seneca College, Nikkita performed regularly with her band around Toronto before adding modelling and background acting in such shows as

Shane Philips
is a singer-songwriter who was raised among a family of singers in a small Ontario town on the banks of the Grand River. His devotion to singing flourished as a child when he transitioned from singing with his church choir to performing classical Italian opera during his elementary years. As well as being an actor and dancer, Philips’ powerful voice and technical ability has gained him starring roles in a variety of musicals including
, We Love Harry Belafonte, Sweet Soul Music
, as well as
Memories of the Rat Pack
, playing Sammy Davis, Jr. Philips was a contestant on “The Voice” and recently sang with living legend, Stevie Wonder at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.
