Sonya Jevette, the Velvet Voice in Dallas

Sonya Jevette performs every Thursday night at Cat's Art MusikCircus and the velvety sound of her voice is unmistakable.  One of her signature songs is "The Big Girl Song" and she delivers it with grace, comedy, and style but there's a poignance as to how society can be dismissive of a big girl.  Mostly the audience knows the song as the Wobbly Wobbly Song and the lyrics are mildly self-deprecating but that's the poignance and the sweetness of it.  There's one thing for sure, tho:  treat her right or you won't get none tonight!

When Sonya does "The Big Girl Song," she asks some ladies from the audience to come up to the stage to dance with her while she sings and here's a picture:


From left to right, that's Cat Boucher, Sonya Jevette, and Medora Chevalier, all dancing to the song about the wobbly, wobbly.

Sonya observed the stage looked like a pizza so I told her we were all going to eat it after the show.  Cat said that eating her stage would not be acceptable, however, so that did not happen.

For information on Sonya's shows in or out of Second Life, you can make Sonya Jevette your friend on Facebook.  She's a lovely lady with an incredible velvet voice.  She has great power in her singing but also a lovely sweetness and you know she's cool because she plays a Gibson ES-335, the classic semi-hollow body favored by practically every blues guitarist in the Universe.
