In this special episode of Hub City Now, host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. interviews Saffron Lips, a R&B/soul/jazz duo featuring Stephanie Jae Park (currently Eliza Hamilton on the Philip Tour of Hamilton) and OBC original cast member and dance captain, Voltaire Wade-Greene.
Saffron Lips is a fusion of Park’s vocals and Green’s love of dance. Park’s musical influences include Ella Fitzgerald, Mariah Carey, Sumi Jo and Alicia Keys. Voltaire comes from the concert dance world and exploded onto Broadway in the original cast of “Hamilton,” as the dance captain/swing.
Host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. spoke to the couple about their new album “Fire to My Air”, how they came together to form Saffron Lips, how the pandemic helped them, what it’s like to collaborate with your significant other, how they figure out they wanted to pursue The Arts and much, much more!
Following the interview, you’ll hear the couple’s lead-off single “Cincinnati”.
