JaVonne & Terez welcome TheFreezProject to the basement all the way from Georgia. Freez was fed music in his baby bottle and found hip hop and the 1& 2 on a family trip to Newark, NJ. Served his country well in the military and had booties shaking internationally producing music for the masses. Freez has worked with friends of the show Barbara Tucker, Ultra Nate', and Robin S. We are excited to chat with him and play a little house music as well. Get your dancing shoes ready!

Been thinking that I might want to do the show from a different part of the house, not the basement. Just wanted to see how that works. Also, this is an opportunity for you to let me know if you dig the show and what you might like to see different. Have you heard Terez and me do the birthday shout outs? Do you think my grandma should have her own slot on the show? What guests would you like for us to try to get? Let me know!

Miche Braden, also known as Ms. Miche, is a woman so filled with talent and versatility that it can't be easily described. In her voice lies the very essence of what we call "soul music" simply because it comes from the soul. Miche is featured on house music tracks, jazz cds, blues, and actually in all genres of music. Motown is not the only amazing music born in Detroit! Ms. Miche was the mystical minister of music for the Unity Church Movement and wrote the song that is or at least should be the anthem, "I Am" which can be found on her wonderful cd "Diva Out Of Bounds." Miche co-wrote and stars in the Devil's Music, a one woman play about the life of Bessie Smith, and she has acted in numerous other plays and shows. She is an all around talent and a dear friend and musical mentor. We are excited to have her join us here for Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne & Tere

Alexis P. Suter is the owner of that big, booming voice you can hear roaring out of Brooklyn into the heart of North America and beyond.  Alexis P. and her band are on the rise as accolades pour in and they continue to captivate audiences from town to town.  

Miss Suter and her powerful and unique ensemble artfully blend the lines between Blues, Soul, Roots and Rock music. Alexis' voice ranges from a pained passion to explosive and soul bearing. 

When the great Bluesman B.B. King first heard Alexis sing, he was visibly impressed and said so after her opening set for him at BB Kings in NYC. Shaking his head in wonder in his characteristic way, he remarked….

“It’s a rare thing to share the stage with great talent like that young lady.”

Alexis has earned similar honors from other well-known musicians and performers including Dan Aykroyd and Levon Helm of The Band. 

Suter and her band have been blazing trails and taking their music to festivals and venues both nationally and internationally.

Suter is currently touring in support of her upcoming release BE LOVE.  APSB take modern blues and roots music in new directions, pushing the form just a bit beyond its normal boundaries with Suter's  powerful, deep soulful voice charging forward.

Today we are blessed to have a special guest who sings a special genre of music. She is known as the Queen of Gospel Energy and her name is Dawn Tallman. She is an outstanding vocalist and although she primarily sings gospel lyrics, the energy and music is House Music. So while you're getting your dance on, you find yourself shouting. It is wonderful and joyful music! So on this show, we will play gospel house music and interview the wonderful Dawn Tallman on Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne & Terez.

In 1986, Joyce Sims made us all dance and groove to a song with an unmistakeable unshakeable sound, "All In All" She followed that up in 1988 with the smash hit "Come Into My Life". Both songs became instant classics which are still being sampled today! She remade "It's Love that Makes a Woman" and that rendition of the song is the most popular version as it is OUTSTANDING! In 2014 she put out a new CD entitled "Love Song" which is a smooth R&B album that makes you want to fall in love and sway to the rhythm while doing so. We are honored that Ms. Joyce Sims is spending time today on Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne & Terez

So much has happened over the past week or so, we must discuss this. Kevin Hart, to apologize or not to apologize? R. Kelly, what in the world is going on in his house and why hasn't anyone intervened? And on a larger scale, what in the world is going on in the USA? The gov't is closed down over a wall that's not going to solve anything? People are not getting paid AND the FBI believes the President of the United States of America may be a Russian SPY???? Terez and I are going to dig into all of this with friend to the show, and former co-host Nathan James today on Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne.
