Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) is thrilled to welcome back Rachelle Coba as part of its monthly “Jazz at MOCA” series. With riffs that can bring down the house and a voice that awakens the hearts, Coba sweeps away her audiences with her own high-powered brand of blues; from soul, to country, to uptown, onto the stage. Her take on the blues is unexpectedly honest and mesmerizing. After years of performing in festivals like Chicago Bluesfest and opening for renowned artists including Dr. John, The Cate Brothers and Candye Kane, Coba has crafted her own style and formed The Rachelle Coba Band. With an exciting new trio, Coba has relocated back to South Florida and is playing to steadily growing audiences in the US and abroad. The public is invited to enjoy the jazz rhythms of the Rachelle Coba, rain or shine! The museum will be closed for installation of its upcoming exhibition.” This event is free and open to the public, but for more info go to: mocanomi.org.
