Singer and actress Melissa Kate brings powerhouse vocals and deep soul to her electrifying Teena Marie Tribute—a show that celebrates the legacy of the "Ivory Queen of Soul" with heart, grit, and unforgettable presence.

With classical training from Fredonia and over 17 years fronting the George Scott Big Band, Melissa crosses genres with ease, channeling Teena’s fire in hits like “Portuguese Love,” “Square Biz,” and “Ooh La La La.” Her performances don’t imitate—they inhabit the emotion and energy that made Teena Marie a legend. The show would be nothing without expert musicianship and soul from Van Taylor, Paul Yates, and Benjamin Clyburn, along with many others.


Known for blending jazz, R&B, and theatrical storytelling in her original work with The Melissa Kate Project, Melissa transforms every show into an experience. She’s toured internationally with Taylor Made Jazz, recorded two solo albums (Blind Faith and Kissed by Kate), and serves as Senior VP of Education with Three 2 Go Music Alliance. Her tribute to Teena Marie is a vibrant, soul-stirring celebration that leaves audiences dancing, singing along, and wanting more.
