PAVIELLE (6:30 PM) - PaviElle is an amazing interdisciplinary artist, composer and vocalist with a dynamic 6-piece band. Her sound often has the faint flavor of Sly and the Family Stone, drawing on the influences of Jose James, and Rufus, with the soulful feel of Bill Withers. While the sound the group captures was vintage, PaviElle brings her own personal style and passionate energy to her singing, making for a fresh sound that’s uniquely her own. She says she always has a way she wants her songs to “swing,” and it’s this free-style emotion, in the scatting and vocalizing, that brings a millennial’s heart-born, contemporary vision to a classic soul music sound.
