Deephaven R&B Artist To Perform At Spasso

A Musical Gem Emerging From Deephaven:  15-year-old soulful songstress Sophie Fawcett Peters will be performing 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. August 21st and 28th on the patio at Spasso in Minnetonka.   Sophie, a talented student at Benilde St. Margaret has been writing, recording and performing live shows throughout the Twin Cities for the past two years. With a passion for R&B, she covers artists such as Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Natasha Bedingfield and Duffy.Sophie’s love of soul music began young in life. By age 6, she was hooked on soul singers, belting out Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone, Natalie Cole and Alicia Keyes in her room, on family vacations and almost anywhere she could grab an audience. “I grew up with a lot of music around me. My dad used to play old R&B songs, like Stand By Me and What A Wonderful World. This has had an influence on my love for that genre of music.” A multi-faceted artist, Sophie plays both piano and guitar and draws from her life experiences while penning original lyrics.  Like most teenage girls, Sophie enjoys many interests including fashion, acting, modeling, journalism, photography and painting. She is also active in sports, playing volleyball and snowboarding in the winter. “In my down time, I like to chill out, hang with my friends and watch movies.”
