Her career has taken her to Japan and Southeast Asia and includes gigs with groups like Sound 70 and Sisters Love, founded by former members of Ray Charles’ back-up singers, the Raelettes. Locally, Ms. Washington has sung with the Saint John’s Missionary Gospel Chorus and the Boston Baked Blues Band as well as the Toni Lynn Washington Band.
