Experience Sheila E. live on August 21st

Sheila E., a prominent American singer, songwriter, percussionist, and actress, will be performing at the Blue Note Summer Sessions in Napa, California on August 21, 2026. Her musical style is characterized by a fusion of funk, R&B, pop, and Latin influences, prominently featuring her virtuosic drumming and percussion skills. She rose to fame in the early 1980s with hits like “The Glamorous Life” and “Love Bizarre,” often collaborating with Prince during that period and throughout her career. She continues to tour and record, maintaining a strong presence in contemporary music.

The Blue Note Summer Sessions are an annual series of concerts held at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa Valley. Established in 2017 as an extension of the renowned Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City, the sessions offer a more expansive outdoor venue and broader range of musical genres than its indoor counterpart. While rooted in jazz, the series regularly features artists from soul, R&B, blues, and other related styles. The setting aims to combine high-quality musical performances with the ambiance of the Napa Valley wine country.
