Patti Labelle brings her powerhouse vocals to Omaha! The Grammy Award®-winner and Godmother of Soul is an incomparable force in music. She’s revered for her R&B and pop hits including "If Only You Knew," "On My Own," "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up."
LaBelle has enjoyed one of the longest careers in contemporary music. The actress, singer and entrepreneur started her career with Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles in the 1960s.

Renowned for her dynamic career as an entertainer, her work as a humanitarian is just as legendary. She remains an advocate for adoption, diabetes, cancer, HIV / AIDS and many other causes and nonprofit initiatives. She has written six books, “Don’t Block the Blessings,” “LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About,” “Patti’s Pearls,” “Patti LaBelle’s Lite Cuisine,” “Recipes for the Good Life” and her most recent, “Desserts LaBelle.” Several years ago, she introduced Patti’s Good Life, a successful product line that includes a variety of sauces, sweet potato pie, cobblers and cakes.
