Detroit – She’s the Queen of Percussion, a singer, an author, and an actress - she’s the one and only Sheila E.! Tonight she is in Detroit kicking off her new tour, but before her big show she sat down with Host Jason Carr on the Local 4 Plaza.
“I’m so excited,” says Sheila E., in regards to the show happening tonight at 7 pm at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre along the Detroit Riverfront. This will only be the third time she’s played in the last year and a half. She loves performing in Detroit and said that “if you can make it in Detroit, you can make it anywhere.”
Sheila E. and her father will be receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Latin Grammy’s this year. This will be the first time a father and daughter duo will receive such an award, so she said she is very honored by it.
