CHICAGO – International Mr. Leather has announced that singer/songwriter Beverly McClellan will be the headline entertainer during IML on Memorial Day Weekend in Chicago.
From IML:
We are thrilled and excited to announce that BEVERLY McCLELLAN has been signed to appear and HEADLINE at the 35th Annual IML Contest on Sunday, May 26th!
Introduced to the world in 2011 on NBC’s The Voice, her stirring power and range immediately draws comparisons to Etta James, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Melissa Ethridge. Check out her videos on YouTube and see for yourself.
