Agenda

Friday Night Entertainment
Performer: Jaguar Wright

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially in the case of fiery Philadelphia chanteuse Jaguar Wright. As notorious for her impassioned, spine-tingling vibrato as she is for her show-stealing performance at Jay-Zīs 1999 MTV Unplugged concert with The Roots, Jaguar is the quintessential soul maven. Her sophomore debut, "Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul," is appropriately titled because it not only rids her of the dreaded cloak of the manufactured category "neo-soul," but represents her musical and personal emancipation. "I am truly divorcing everything from before to start fresh and new," says Jaguar, a married mother of two. "The title lets everyone know Iīm divorcing the hype to marry the real. I donīt sell anything else but me, or what I believe in or feel. I am finally free to do me, free to do my work."

DJ: DJ Chubby Chubb of Hot 97.7FM Boston
