GREETINGS
Hello! I am Cherrye Yvonne Bess-Branch one of
Tallahassee's most popular and favorite musical performers.  I am apart of the newly formed trio, "Three Mo' Sistas."

BACKGROUND
I'm a graduate of
Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida (a United Methodist supported school) with a B.A. in Speech Communications and a Minor in Music Performance.  I attended Bethune-Cookman College on a four year Scholarship to Sing, Travel, and Perform with the Concert Chorale as lead singer, Dr. Rebecca Steele Director.

I am the
Minister of Music at Arnette Chapel AME Church in Quincy, Florida, Rev. Willie Hagans is Pastor.  I play for and direct several community choirs in Tallahassee  and Quincy, Florida.   I have performed with Pam Laws, Charles Atkins, Shirley Ceasar and many others.  I am employed by the State of Florida University Systems for the past 15 years.  I am currently performing with a new Tallahassee based  trio called, "Three Mo Sistas."  I have a Demo CD project available by contacting me at threemosista@yahoo.com. 

PERSONAL
I
am the (recently wedded) wife of Sgt. James R. Branch, Sr. and the mother of 5 beautiful children.  I  am a natural comedian and people lover.  I LOVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Serving God is my life style and I enjoy being a Christian.  Due to very unfortunate circumstances, my family and I were suddenly left homelss. The ECHO program, for homeless families, helped us.  We received help from several of the programs introduced to us while we were living at their Bethany Family Apartments in Tallahassee, Florida. That is why a portion of the funds raised during the TOUR OR TALLAHASSEE will be donated to Echo.

My friends are my family.  I have twins girls (16) honor students, three boys,10, 2, and 11 months.
