We will be back to our regularly scheduled podcasts with some changes ahead. We didn't want to leave you episode less this week so we wanted to revisit one of our Bonus episodes with the very talented De-Rance Blaylock. Oh and she sings in this episode too! De-Rance Renette Blaylock sang with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s In-Unison Chorus during its inaugural season in 1994 and two years following. In 1997, De-Rance left St. Louis and continued her vocal training under Richard Tucker at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, AL. She played one of the title roles in A&M’s production of Porgy & Bess, opposite American Idol winner Ruben Studdard. In 1999, De-Rance came home and later joined the St. Louis Symphony Chorus. She now sings with Chris & Kyle with True Spirit, and Jesse Williams & Total Praise. She has sung behind some of the world's greatest talents, including Dionne Warwick, Lionel Richie, Daryl Coley, Karen Clark-Sheard. De-Rance has toured the country and Greece with the Phil Woodmore Singers as they perform the critically acclaimed project, Antigone in Ferguson, an ancient Greek tragedy about what happens when personal conviction and state law clash, and violence ensues. Antigone in Ferguson has now been featured as an off-Broadway hit in New York. It was featured during five weeks at the Harlem Stage in 2018, and again at St. Ann and Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn in 2019. As a lead soloist, De-Rance is known for singing the last song of the production, titled I’m Covered, written by Dr. Phil Woodmore. The song is available on all digital music outlets.
