Music & Movie Mojo: 'The Boss' Diana Ross, Esperanza Spalding, and Conya Doss in Chicago



She's been called 'The Boss', a diva, and a lot of other things, but no one can argue that Ms. Diana Ross is a bona fide superstar!

If you've never had the experience of seeing her perform in person, you have missed out on a part of musical history.  She, after all, was the inventor of the quick-change in-between performances that many other artists have adopted during concerts and awards shows.

Her hits span some 50 years and are timeless.  You can experience this musical diva for yourself on April 27th at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana by getting a ticket here.




Over 114 million viewers watched Esperanza Spalding deliver a sensational performance during the "In Memoriam" segment at the Oscars in February.  The American bassist and singer brings her flavor to Ravinia this summer on June 25th to promote her latest album called "Radio Music Society."

Voted 2011 Best New Artist for the Grammy Awards, you can check her out by getting tickets here.





If you've missed the sounds of artists such as Soul II Soul's Caron Wheeler, Chante Moore, and Incognito's 'Deep Waters,' you're going to enjoy getting to know Conya Doss.

Doss’s dynamically explosive yet sensual voice is the heart and soul of her music. She has been a fixture on the national and international R&B/Soul music scene for over 7 years, playing a variety of sold-out clubs and venues filled to their capacity.

Conya Doss offers a modern spin on vintage sound, seamlessly infusing her music with an eclectic blend of soul, blues, rock, jazz, and r&b. Her forthcoming album Pocket Full of Purpose is a testament to that.

Conya will be in Chicago at The Shrine on April 11th for a one-night performance not to be missed!  Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.  Get them here.  Meanwhile, check out her new video below!







Finally, if you're looking to shoot into the stratosphere as a singing star, you might want to audition for Queen Latifah's new show on the CW Network.  Star Next Door will soon be holding auditions in Chicago.  To get in on the action, read the details below and get your information in ASAP!
