Artist History London Street isn't a place-it's a feeling. It's the feeling you get watching four funky anti-divas lay down the groove. Soothing soul and hot licks smoke from stacks when London Street takes the stage. The fierce, inspiring originals of London Street draw their influence from seventies R&B and funk, filtered through the soul-drenched stylings of Sade and Jill Scott. These ladies are an amazingly tight and sweet unit. They have graced stages from the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, to the party houses of the East Bay and San Francisco. Shani leads from the rear spreading cool beats like jelly on a roll. Jenn Curiel explains her presence simply, "The bass guitar is my specialty." Kathryn Nobrega puts her foot down on the gas when she puts her fingers on the keys. And the smooth, sultry vocal delivery of Lesley Grant brings the city to London Street and makes us believers in their mantra: Passion Power Poetry
