THE SOUL
OF TINA

Passion, sex appeal, temperament and a charismatic voice - these are the attributes that make the grande dame of the music business, Tina Turner, unmistakable. Songs like "A Fool in Love" and "Nutbush City Limits" made her famous together with her husband Ike Turner. After the separation and the end of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, Tina Turner managed to climb the musical Olympus as a solo artist. With hits like "What's Love Got To Do With It", "Typical Male", "Addicted To Love" and many others, she became the "Queen of Rock'n'Roll" and one of the most successful singers in the world.

The Soul of Tina is a musical tribute to a great artist. This tribute show presents the best of over 50 years of Tina Turner - from the beginnings in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue with songs like "River Deep Mountain High" and "Proud Mary" to her unforgettable solo hits like "Simply The Best" and "Private Dancer"! Singer Tess D. Smith, who became famous as the front act for "The Commodores", brings the greatest hits of an extraordinary and strong woman to the stage - authentically, with fiery passion and an explosive live performance.

For many years, Tess D. Smith has been delighting audiences with her irrepressible temperament and her unique raspy voice. The entertainer began her career in the Philippines as a dancer and choreographer for major musicals and television shows. When her singing talent was discovered, however, she became the front act for "The Commoderes" on their "Nightshift Asia Tour" and from that point on traveled around the globe with the band as a singer and dancer. Tess D. Smith is at home in many genres, whether pop, rock, soul or R'n'B, and has already performed on stage with stars such as Janet Jackson, Xavier Naidoo and Uwe Ochsenknecht.
