BASH FOR DASH: A “Sarah Dash Birthday Bash” will be live-streamed Sunday, August 16 by the Levitt AMP Trenton Music Series.

On August 16 at 8 p.m., the vocalist known as Trenton’s “music ambassador” will give a concert online to celebrate her birthday. Sarah Dash, a Trenton native, was one-third of the group LaBelle, known for the hit single “Lady Marmalade.” In addition to her musical career, she is a motivational speaker, educator, and humanitarian.

As a solo artist, the Grammy Hall of Fame inductee once topped the international dance charts with the song “Sinner Man” and has collaborated with such artists as Nile Rodgers, Sylvester, and The Rolling Stones (appearing on the Stones’ 1989 album Steel Wheels). Dash was also the only female member of Keith Richards’ super group, The X-Pensive Winos.

“We are not only excited that we can bring this show to our community, but also proud to bring  our community to the world as part of this coast-to-coast virtual concert series,” said Meaghan Singletary, development and project manager for the Trenton Downtown Association. “This is just the kind of joyful evening we all need right now. We are incredibly grateful to our sponsor NJM Insurance, and we are especially thankful to New Jersey State Council on the Arts for reallocating funds from the 2020 Levitt AMP Music Series to  allow us to present this event.”
