SUMMARY:A Night of Wonder: The Music of Stevie
DESCRIPTION:SAT JUNE 20 | 8:00PM\nDOORS/DINNER 6:00PM\nCombs Music Unlimited presents “A Night of Wonder: The Music of Stevie” bringing you an unforgettable night of music from the songbook of one of the world’s most influential musicians. This concert features the classic songs of Stevie Wonder ranging from his early Motown hits through the golden era of Soul in the 70s that set the stage for today’s Neo Soul and changed R&B forever. It is a celebration of amazing songwriting\, funky musicianship\, heart-wrenching ballads and old school favorites with a nod to the many beloved “deep cuts” that have become Stevie Wonder essentials. Led by Cincinnati-born vocalist Brandon Combs who has proven that there is no genre of music he cannot sing\, this concert is the ideal showcase for both his incredibly soulful voice and his remarkable ability to captivate and entertain an audience.
