Sheila E with opening Artist Eric Darius
Born into a musical family, Sheila Escovedo (Sheila E.) has been driven by an inner rhythm her entire life. Daughter of musician Pete Escovedo, Sheila E. became one of the top female musicians during the 1980s due to her fierce drumming style and her Latin rhythms. A former protégé of Prince, Sheila became a drummer in his band before branching off into solo musical projects. In addition to being considered the best female drummer alive, Sheila E. has also expanded into acting roles, most notably in the urban cult classic film Krush Groove.
Born in New Jersey and raised in Tampa, Eric Darius has been a lover of music from birth, with his parents exposing him to jazz at a young age. Eric soon began listening intently to all kinds of music-from R&B, gospel, pop, reggae, blues, hip hop, and latin. He has shared the stage with countless notable Artists, such as Prince, Brian McKnight, George Benson, Wynton Marsalis, and Dionne Warwick. Eric always brings high energy and great showmanship to RBJF!
