Cece Teneal is a soulful, blues-centric soprano​ ​with a soul-stirring voice who has shared the stage with such greats as Buddy Guy, Joe Cocker​, ​Johnny Lang, Trombone Shorty, and the legendary B.B. King.​ For one night only, she will pay tribute to Aretha Franklin.​ Come take a ride on the "Freeway of Love" as we pay "Respect" to the Queen of Soul.​

Critics and fans have called CeCe Teneal “a musical force to be reckoned with”, and her achievements in the industry over the past decade are certainly testament to that view. A country girl blessed with a powerful voice that is filled with soul and resonance, CeCe began as a cover artist and is now planning to captivate the globe by performing her own original music that aligns with a blues/soul/funk soundtrack.

Born in Osteen, just outside of Orlando, Florida, CeCe never envisioned herself as a performer. Having inherited her voice from her mother, she was handed a microphone in the family church at the age of six and stunned people with her chillingly beautiful vocals. At first keeping her talent within the walls of her home, CeCe quickly felt something bigger beginning to emerge. God had a different plan from what she had first imagined, and after singing at venues throughout her region, her career skyrocketed when she was selected as the lead singer for B.B. King’s Blues Club in Orlando in 2007. CeCe succeeded in transforming B.B. King’s into the most frequented live music venue in Orlando, and in 2011 she released her debut blues album, “Train from Osteen”, performing to sold out crowds and eventually being dubbed the “Voice of Neo-Blues”.

“After 3 years of working with CeCe and seeing the progression, she has turned into a mega at her talent. It’s interesting seeing her take off and see her originals and watch the tunes come together and emerge from B.B King’s into what we all feel is a major star…the skies the limit for her.” –Pat Gullota, B.B. King’s All-Star Band
