This past Tuesday's Soul Funk session, Ryan Cross introduced the audience to Nahisha Pettit, a soulful singer with amazing vocals and beauty to spare. Dressed in a sexy tinseltown blue dress she led the crowd through a warm set of songs incorporating Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" which filled the dance floor and put everyone in an amazing mood.

Backed by Robert Miller on drums, Dennis Hamm on keys and supported by back-up singers Niambi Sims and Reign Morton, Nahisha rocked Harvelle's and made Soul Funk a night to remember. Later on, keyboardist Brandon Coleman dropped some beautiful science on an extended version of MJ's "Human Nature" with Jimmy Reed on tenor saxophone, who made the crowd swoon with his beautiful melodic playing.

This Saturday, a special edition of Ryan Cross' Soul Funk will be gracing the stage of Harvelle's. If you're in Santa Monica and celebrating the 4th, stop by and get soul funked.

As summer heats up, changes are afoot at Harvelle's. Going on a hiatus from their Monday night residency Was (Not Was) is leaving and will return in the Fall, but for now the incredible guitar playing, deep-voiced singing Kevin Moore (wiki-Kevin Moore) is taking over. Kevin played here as a Monday night resident earlier this year and the place was packed every time. Come see what all the fuss is about.
