Scherrie Payne & Freda Payne May 2nd 2026 -

Freda Payne & Scherrie Payne bring decades of iconic music history to the stage for this special edition of "Fred Bronson Talks." Freda Payne rose to international fame with her 1970 smash hit “Band of Gold,” while her sister Scherrie Payne carried the legacy of The Supremes as a lead vocalist during the group’s final era. From their early days auditioning for Motown to celebrated careers in soul, pop, and R&B, the Payne sisters have left an enduring mark on American music — and now share their stories, memories, and music in an intimate, unforgettable conversation. Following the interview the guests had the opportunity to participate in a live audience Q&A—sometimes the best questions come from the room. Pair it all with a relaxed brunch setting, craft cocktails, and the signature atmosphere of The Velvet Martini Lounge, and you’ve got an afternoon that felt equal parts storytelling session, and a backstage pass.
