Know by Huey Lewis and the News fans by her superb backing vocal contributions on the 2010 release, “Soulsville,” Daunielle “Pie” Hill passed away yesterday. Memphis born and raised, Daunielle came from a musical background. Her father, William Brown, was an original member of a vocal group that recorded for the Stax/Volt label called The Mad Lads and in addition did some engineering work at the famous Stax Volt Studios. Daunielle’s background vocals can be heard on albums from Solomon Burke’s “Nothing’s Impossible”and Huey Lewis & the News’ “Soulsville”, as well as recent CDs from Cee Cee James, Sandy Carroll and Jackie Johnson. Daunielle also toured with Huey Lewis and the News for four years.

“Very sad news. Daunielle “Pie” Hill passed away this morning. She was one of the background singers on our Soulsville tour, and she toured with us extensively. She was a delight. Smart, funny, sweet, and talented, she brightened every room. My thoughts are with her family.” – Huey

So sad to hear about Willie Mays. National Treasure. So glad I got to spend time with him. We played golf twice. Sweet, funny, generous, and such humility. The greatest baseball player of all time. They don’t make em like that anymore. RIP – Huey

We are sad to announce that The Heart of Rock and Roll Muscal will be closing it’s doors with it’s final performance being this Sunday, June 23rd. We are so thankful for the amazing support and reviews it has gotten and look forward to continuing the journey!

A NOTE FROM HUEY:
Although we’re very disappointed that the show is closing on Sunday, we’re still very proud of it. It was the best reviewed show of the season and got much better reviews than the musical that won the Tony. We got slighted with no Tony nominations (politics, jukebox musical) and that was too big of an obstacle to overcome with as many shows as there are.

Nonetheless, we’ve had extremely good offers for the tour and for stock/amateur shows. And, International interest is very good. It looks like we will tour America with the show in 2025, and then hopefully put it up in London in 2026.

You can’t keep a good show down.

– Huey
