Celebrated Weaver of Lyrical Landscapes Roberta Flack Visits Cache Creek on November 5
Brooks, Calif. – Internationally hailed as one of the greatest songstresses, Grammy Award winning Roberta Flack remains unparalleled in her ability to tell a story through music. See Flack in Cache Creek Casino Resort’s intimate Club 88 on Saturday, November 5 at 8 p.m. Effortlessly traversing a broad musical landscape from pop to soul to folk to jazz, Flack’s songs have provided insight into the lives, loves, culture and politics of multiple generations. Classically trained on the piano from an early age, she received a music scholarship at age 15 to attend Howard University. Discovered while singing at the Washington, DC nightclub Mr. Henry's by jazz musician Les McCann, she was promptly signed to Atlantic Records. With a string of hits, including, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” “Where Is the Love” (a duet with former Howard University classmate Donny Hathaway), “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” “Feel Like Makin' Love,” “The Closer I Get to You,” “Tonight I Celebrate My Love,” and “Set the Night to Music,” Flack has built a musical legacy. In 1999, she aptly received a star on Hollywood's legendary Walk of Fame. Flack is currently involved with a new studio venture - an interpretive album of Beatles' classics. Roberta Flack plays Cache Creek Casino Resort’s Club 88 on Saturday, November 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets are just $89/$75/$65 and are available through Tickets.com online at tickets.com or by phone (800) 225-2277; or at cachecreek.com and Cache Creek Casino Resort’s guest services desk.
