Soul'd Out Presents: Shelly Rudolph — DIVA DELUXE
Doors: 7 PM | Show: 8 PM | Ages 21+
ETTA. ARETHA. BLONDIE.
"Equal parts sugar and whiskey... enough diva class and bluesy grit to carry the day." — All About Jazz
Three singular women. Three unmistakable voices. One deliciously outrageous night.
Leading a stellar six-piece ensemble, Shelly Rudolph belts, caresses and struts her way through the music of Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Blondie.
DIVA DELUXE spans Etta's blues-drenched sass, Aretha's sanctified soul and Blondie's downtown rock-and-roll cool, with iconic hits, hidden treasures and Rudolph's own songs woven through the night. Music shaped by love, swagger and tenderness.
ABOUT SHELLY

Her multidisciplinary jazz myth suite Orfea Rising premiered at the 2026 Montavilla Jazz Festival. Her forthcoming album Wild Darling is a sultry tumble of sassy struts, bluesy boleros and hip-sway ballads.
