[CONTEST] Win Tickets to see Teedra Moses Live in Toronto, May 10

Who says The Kitchen never hooks you up?? This is a good one! Wanna win a chance to see the cult soul singer, Teedra Moses live in Toronto for Canadian Music Week at The Main Ingredient party w/ the usual resident Djs (Mensa, Agile and Sean Sax) in support at Revival?

As I said when this show was announced, she is fan-f-cking-tastic live. The epitome of what soul music is, especially in an era where you hear everything but — ‘electronic’ soul, R&B that sounds like EDM and rappers singing more than singers — actual honest-to-goodness soul music. Trust me when I say, when you hear Teedra go at it live which is, honestly, the best way to experience her, she really makes you believe she lived it. This is grown woman business we talking about here, aight??!

Anyway, here’s how to win:

1. Follow me on twitter at @Stellaskid (so I can DM you in the event that you win) then

2. Tweet: “Hey @Stellaskid: I wanna go to the @CMW_Week @TeedraMoses show May 10 at The @TMIPARTY at @RevivalBarTO‎” [note: you do not need to include the quotes when you tweet your contest message]

I will select a winner at random on Friday May 9 at 12 noon who will be notified via DM on twitter (hence the necessity for you to follow me). In the meantime, check out this new track from Teedra, “All I Ever Wanted” sampling the Camp Lo classic, “Luchini”
