Three decades after the release of their last album, the formidable group Labelle (Sarah Dash, Nona Hendryx and Patti LaBelle) are back in full form with ‘Back To Now’ (Oct 21, Verve). The highly anticipated new full-length album produced by Gamble & Huff, Lenny Kravitz and Wyclef Jean “adds a contemporary vibe without taking away from the funky Labelle that longtime fans remember.” (Billboard, 10.18.08) ‘Back to Now’ features original songs with the vocal firepower, lush harmonies, sassy lyrics, and funky melodies conveying messages of empowerment and passion.

With their ornate costumes and theatrical show which the LA Times called “part gospel revival, part circus, part love-in” (10/12/08),Labelle shines the brightest on stage, and this momentous return at the world famous Apollo Theater is sure to be one of the most talked-about events of the season.
