Hundreds attend Denise LaSalle tribute concert

JACKSON, Tenn —  West Tennesseans came out to the Oman arena for a night of live R&B  to honor a very special lady.

Organizers say they hosted the event as a tribute to the late ‘Queen of Blues’ Denise LaSalle who passed away in January.  The musical line up included Tank, John B and Tony Terry.  There was also a donation table for LaSalle with organizers collecting money for a music academy. LaSalle’s husband says a summer music camp had always been her dream.

It will start this June on the campus of Lane college.
