Came across a reference to Soul/R&B singer Amma Whatt appearing at the Myriad Gardens on Thursday (as part of the Art Moves series).

I'm not familiar with her, but she's quite talented, I find, after a little research.

She's from Brooklyn and is in town to make several appearances -- at Urban Roots, in addition to the Gardens appearance.

The Arts Council posted a very brief excerpt of her appearance here:

She has a very nice, sweet and feathery voice.

She posted a few remarks about the downtown event:


Oklahoma City!!! Such a lovely afternoon performance, outdoors, hot as hell, and we had fun together!
The Myriad botanical gardens are beautiful, And I am happy to play with local musicians and bridge
the musical connection from Brooklyn to OKC!

Another interesting note: came across a video for a HomeGoods commercial where Amma Whatt sings the song. The song, in this case, being a variation of 'Get Happy!'.

Very short commercial. Love her rendition.
