Make a Wish: An Evening with Meagan McNeal & Keya Trammell

Make a Wish: An Evening with Meagan McNeal & Keya Trammell

Get tickets here!

Meagan McNeal and Keya Trammell are two of Chicago's most compelling vocalists, and on September 2 they share the same stage for an evening presented by Pink Elephant Creatives that is equal parts concert, storytelling, and community.

McNeal's voice is the kind that stops a room. A Chicago-born singer and songwriter who moves fluently across jazz, R&B, soul, hip-hop, and classical, she has collaborated with Common, The O'Jays, Eminem, Makaya McCraven, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. NBC's The Voice brought her national visibility, mentored by Jennifer Hudson. A viral video of her singing on a Chicago El train brought her back into the conversation and onto The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Trammell matches her in presence and range. A Chicago Music Award winner, she has opened for Chrisette Michele, sung background for Lupe Fiasco, and starred in Lady Sings the Blues and Reasons: A Tribute to Earth, Wind and Fire. Her advocacy work around Alopecia has been featured in Vogue, a reminder that her platform extends well beyond the stage.

A portion of the evening's proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish, supporting life-changing wishes for children facing critical illness. The music is reason enough to be there. What it supports makes it matter more.
