Melanie Fiona Acoustic Set At SOB's

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Two-time Grammy Award-winning songstress Melanie Fiona hit the stage at SOB's in New York City this week for a rare acoustic set. She followed with a 30-minute a capella encore for the packed house. The intimate performance was a stripped down version of the full band show fans have come to expect from Fiona. During an interview with SOB's she cites a desire to connect with the crowd as her motivation to change the format a little. She also touches on the ways in which her Caribbean lineage informs her sound and live performance. Check the footage below.
