Cassandre McKinley

A Brown Bag veteran, Cassandre McKinley has a vocal style that walks the line between jazz and soul – a voice that is commanding, vibrant and rich – with “chops” to spare. But, she’s no diva – though she’ll confidently and easily weave her way through The American Songbook and Soul Classics alike, singing with the maturity and wisdom of a veteran performer, she will stop to tell you a story – unwittingly disarming you like the “girl next door” she truly is.
