Introducing Bernadette Barnes. This Baltimore-born singer/songwriter has been described as a vocal powerhouse. Her sound is as unique as the city in which she was born. Baltimore is a place where the buzz of The North East meets the charm of The South and Bernadette’s voice reflects just that. With a mix of melodic undertones and racy runs, her voice will leave you spellbound. She combines the grace of the late great Whitney Houston, the corky creativity of Erykah Badu with the raw power of Jennifer Hudson. She has graced some of the world’s most prominent stages including McDonald’s Gospel fest, Groove NYC, and even made an appearance at the 2018 U.S Open. Her sound can neither be defined nor contained. She’s a true original.
