COQUITLAM, B.C., August 22, 2023 – Get ready for an electrifying crescendo as Coquitlam’s 2023 Summer Concert Series ends on a bold note in Town Centre Park on Friday, Sept. 1.
Two-time Western Canadian Music Award winning soul, jazz and R&B singer Krystle Dos Santos takes centre stage at the Town Centre Park Community Plaza with two commanding 45-minute sets from 7 – 9 p.m.
This year’s Summer Concert Series has already showcased the groovy rhythms and powerful vocals of Queer as Funk, and the tight harmonies and rockabilly flavour of The Promised.
Soul-Stirring Sounds of Krystle Dos Santos
Through her magnetic performance and songs about heartbreak, struggle and falling in love, Krystle Dos Santos will connect with audiences and capture hearts.
From sultry, syncopated funky rhythms to classic soul and R&B infused instant classics, Krystle’s writing pays tribute to and draws inspiration from her idols Etta James, Nina Simone, Toni Braxton and Chaka Khan while carving out a sound entirely her own.
Get in the groove before the show by listening to our Krystle Dos Santos playlist on Spotify.
