Who is Sista-B?
Sista-B is Barbara Samuel, a Kelowna-based singer who is a veteran of the Okanagan music scene. If you haven’t seen her strutting across the stage at music festivals, you may have seen her tear down the house as Dolores Van Cartier (the Whoopie Goldberg character) in Kelowna Actors Studio’s 2018 production of Sister Act.
