Delilah Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Some say that stars twinkle for only a brief span of time before they fade away and become just a fleeting memory in the night sky. But the most vibrant stars shine eternally, so brightly that one can't help but become captivated by its presence. Delilah is that star. The New York City singer/songwriter personifies a gutsy blend of rock/blues soul, enhanced with her own bit of Latin fire. Her strong spirit fuels her powerful voice and high octane live show. Audiences and critics agree that she is the one to watch. Born and raised in the South Bronx, Delilah proudly hails from a family with rich musical roots. Her father is a multi-talented musician noted for composing and playing an array of instruments, including guitar, harmonica, and percussion. Her uncle, Julio Colon, is the band leader and singer/songwriter for the New York based plena y bomba band, Plena Luna. Her passion for songwriting was inspired by her granduncle Chiquitin Garcia, the famous songwriter for Puerto Rico's legendary El Gran Combo. Her sister, Christina, is a talented singer, dancer, and actress, whose credits include appearances on the TV sitcoms Becker and Girlfriends, indie movies, and singing backup for Bette Midler. Delilah not only learned how to become a musician from her family, but also how to give back. Her uncle, Juan Colon, taught music in the military, and Delilah spends time mentoring young talent either one-on-on in private lessons or in after-school and summer educational programs throughout New York City. After majoring in voice at the fabled Music and Art High School (popularly known as the "Fame" school), Delilah focused on her college education before returning to her first love, music. But amidst classes, she was also schooled by her musical favorites, such as Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, and Nikka Costa. Since college Delilah has been delighting audiences from the streets of New York to the beaches of Miami with her vocal prowess and stage craft. She has performed alongside rock artists-- Living Color's Corey Glover and Deep Purple's Joe Lynn Turner at New York's The Cutting Room. She sang her heart out with soul stars-- the incomparable legends Patti Labelle and Billy Preston at Giants Stadium. And she got funky with-- Morris Day and the Time, Billy Cliff from Kool and the Gang, and Silver from Chic. Although Delilah is known for her rock and bluesy style, she's also versatile and appreciates music in all its forms. She's shared the stage with the jazz greats of Spyro Gyra, Gerardo Velez and Julio Fernandez. She's also accompanied saxophone player Richie Cannata, known for his work with Billy Joel. Delilah has been written about in the NY Times, Fortune Small Business, Talent in Motion, and the book Weekend Enterpreneur, by Michelle Anton and Jennifer Basye Sander. Right now, Delilah is finishing up her brand new album, UNSCATHED, the follow up to her 2002 acoustic self-titled debut. Her fans are eagerly awaiting a year filled with a string of tour dates to follow its release.
