Washington Redskin’s Clinton Portis & Santana Moss & Carla Truitt (R&B Live DC Founder & Producer)
As many of you know, I handle the PR for R&B Live DC and the kick off for 2009 was held Jan. 13th. The venue was Posh Resturant & Supper Club and the crowd was very grown & sexy. The performances were by Miriamm Wright and Kevin Ross, both from the DC area. The event was hosted by Carla Truitt (founder & producer of R&B Live Dc). We had Grammy nominated producer Chucky Thompson in the building, Deangelo Redman (Making the Band 3), Clinton Portis (Washington Redskins), Santana Moss (Washington Redskins) and many other DC socialites in the building. Shout out to Kenny (from WKYS) and DJ Heat (from WPGC) for coming through and showing love!
The next R&B Live DC event will be Feb 17th! So mark your planners :o)

R&B Live DC 2009 Kickoff New Year, New Talent, New Music
Washington, DC (Dec. 31, 2008)- R&B Live DC is ready to start the new year off with a bang. On Tuesday, January 13th R&B Live DC proudly presents Dawn Richard (of Danity Kane) at Posh Restaurant & Supper Lounge. Dawn Richard is a native of the great New Orleans, LA and spent most of her childhood developing her singing and dancing skills. Later on she auditioned for MTV’s “Making the Band 3″ where she was chosen to compete for Diddy’s female group. Dawn ultimately made it through the season and was chosen to be a member of Danity Kane, along side 4 other females. She is now working on her solo project, while still a member of the platinum selling group.
R&B Live DC is pleased to announce that Marjorie Harris will host this month’s event as the all female house band Be’La Dona will accent the venue with their sounds as DJ Huck Fin spins. The opening act will be Washington, DC’s own Kevin Ross. Kevin was named Best New R&B Artist by AOL Music and is BET’s 106 & Park “Wild Out Wednesday” All-Star Champion. He is working on his EP, which is due later in 2009 and is currently promoting his new single “That Girl (Winner)”.

DJ Huckfin was spinning and the house band BLUSH (ALL female) was AMAZING. Tamika Jones was the opening act and she was great! Then the lady of the hour, Marsha Ambrosius (of Floetry) hit the stage and blessed everyone with her heavenly voice. She did songs “Say Yes”, “Butterflies” and others. It was truly a TREAT!
