In advance of her performance with the TSO at the Peristyle, singer-songwriter Shayna Steele joins us by phone to preview the concert, which pays tribute to the reigning divas of Soul and R&B. We hear Shayna's story and tales of working alongside luminaries like Bette Midler and Kelly Clarkson, and we test our general (and not-so-general) knowledge in our quiz of the day, Queen of Soul or Queen of England? (hint: think Aretha Franklin vs. Elizabeth II).
