Delaware-based cover band, Best Kept Soul (BKS) performs at St. Georges Technical High School gala last spring. BKS will once again entertain guests at St. Georges Adult Prom which will be held on May 7. — DOLORES M. BERNAL
Best Kept Soul
Performing at the adult prom will be Delaware’s own, Best Kept Soul (BKS) – a cover band that performs regularly in Wilmington and New Castle clubs.
Last year, BKS’s lead singer, An Letreece, brought down the house during St. Georges’ gala with songs from pop music singers like Amy Winehouse. The evening culminated with most of the attendees singing along and dancing the “Electric Slide.”
“Best Kept Soul is an awesome band and we’re so happy to have them perform again this year,” Williams said. “Most people don’t know the talent that we have in Delaware. When I heard them the first time, they were unbelievable.”
