This is the evening to see Berklee's up-and-coming vocalists and instrumentalists at the college proven to be the training ground for renowned artists, such as Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks), Rachelle Ferrell, Melissa Etheridge, and Juan Luis Guerra. Eight singers were chosen from over 100 students who audition for a spot in the concert. Songs to be performed include "Déjà Vu," by Beyoncé; "This Can't Be Love," by Diana Krall; "In The Stone," by Earth, Wind & Fire; and "Let Him Fly," by Patti Griffin.

Singers Showcase concludes the 2006–2007 Sovereign Bank Music Series at Berklee, an exciting eight-concert series that featured Sweet Honey in the Rock and Cornel West, Marcus Miller, a Stevie Wonder tribute, and more. All shows at the 1,200 seat Berklee Performance Center sold out or sold close to capacity. The series will relaunch with the Beantown Jazz Festival in the fall of 2007.
