Soulful Sundau w/ Shedrick Mitchell & Jason Nelson

Come and feel the essence, and dive musically into the roots and traditions of Jazz and Gospel. The Shedrick Mitchell Trio featuring Jason Nelson is going to take you on a journey with a show entitled, A Soulful Sunday. Presented by Dream Launchers.

St. Louis, Missouri native Shedrick Mitchell received formal piano training playing gospel, classical, and jazz music. While attending the Mannes School of Music, he started working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Pattie LaBelle, Yolanda Adams, Roberta Flack, and Kenny Garrett just to name a few. Shedrick later obtained his Master’s degree in Music Composition as he continued to expand his versatile list of artists to include Maxwell and Jay-Z. His favorite adage is “To whom much is given much is required”; he strives to live up to that every day.

Jason Nelson pastors The Tab, a thriving ministry in Windsor Mill, Maryland. He is also one of the most profound voices in gospel music and has been described as a rare gift to the Kingdom. His sensitivity to the presence and voice of the Lord, as well as his ability to release a sound that can shift any atmosphere is unmatched. Some of his greatest hits would include “Shifting the Atmosphere”, “Nothing Without You”, “I am” and “Forever”. And now with the release of his newest single, “Residue” (on the Tyscot/Fairtrade Label), Jason’s exceptional voice is sure to continue to have a transformative impact on all who hear.
