Raquel Rodriguez

**Raquel Rodriguez** is a Los Angeles-born singer, songwriter, and independent artist whose music blends soul, R&B, and funk.

Over the last several years, she has built a dedicated audience through independent releases, touring, and direct connection with fans, with projects like Sweet Side and Housewife reaching millions of streams across platforms. Alongside her own work, she has spent years performing, recording, and collaborating within LA’s live music scene, helping shape a sound that feels both classic and current without fitting neatly into one lane.

Known for her live band and strong vocal performances, Raquel returns to Chicago for the first time in years for a special full-band show at Color Club.

Joining Raquel is, **Sakari,** an artist and songwriter whose music moves like lava—hot, international and impossible to ignore. Built on a lyric first foundation, her sound is intimate, organic and deeply felt, with a voice that leads everything. Trained at Belmont University, Sakari has become an acclaimed studio session singer and writer. Moving fluidly across gospel, pop, and R&B, she brings emotion, truth, and depth to every record she touches. Her live performances carry that same weight, stripped-down or full-band, she creates an atmosphere that feels less like a show and more like a shared moment.
