On Thursday, April 28, the Buckhead Theatre – 3110 Roswell Rd NE – in Atlanta, Georgia will host three R&B legends: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Dru Hill & Keke Wyatt. The Forever R&B concert will kick off at 7pm (local time).
This event is being presented by J. Sims and K. Botchey LLC. Get tickets and additional information via Live Nation.
Mary J Blige continues to win! The R&B legend is not only doing well as an artist, she is also dominating as a performer and promoter.
We all witnessed her stunning performance at the Super Bowl a few weeks ago, where she stood as the only woman among the men and delivered a set that is still being talked about today.
She then announced a festival and summit titled Strength Of A Woman; an event she is doing in partnership with Pepsi. Its objective is to empower, elevate and educate women on Mother’s Day weekend (May 6-8) in Atlanta. Well shortly after it was announced, tickets sold out! That’s the strength of MJB.
One name that always stands out on any ticket is that of singer-songwriter Regina Belle. The U.S. star, who is known for her mega hits “Baby Come to Me” and “Make It Like It Was,” has been added to the Miramar Jazz Festival lineup.
The event will also feature Jonathan Butler, David Sanborn and Eric Essix. It all goes down on Saturday, April 2nd at the Miramar Regional Park Amphitheater. Get tickets here.
American jazz saxophonist, composer and producer Kenny G is confirmed to play at the BJCC Concert Hall – 2130 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. N – in Birmingham, Alabama this Friday, March 25. He will be joined by fellow instrumentalists Kim Scott and Eric Essix. Starting time is 7:30pm.
