Divine Brown, Juno Award Winning Canadian Soul Songstress, Ignites The Weekend Pre-Party
Energy becomes electric when DIVINE BROWN is in the room. It’s a classic combination of attitude and altitude which she carries fearlessly. It’s her ability to invoke Pam Grier’s seventies superwoman, Foxy Brown, while remaining contemporary, exciting and fresh that drives her appeal. Ms. Brown is sure to light up the room and pump up the Weekend excitement when she performs at the special 10 Years Strong Friday Night Pre-Party on September 7, 2012. All Star Entertainment Line-Up
