my summer concert list is looking grrrreat! FEATURED EVENTS Frankie Beverly & MAZE w. special guest Grammy Nominated ERIC BENET Friday, May 8 6:30pm Gates $38 - $82 www.mazemuze.com Combining a Philadelphia soul sound with a strong appreciation of Marvin Gaye, Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly was among the top R&B acts of the late '70s and '80s. The distinctive Maze and its charismatic lead singer, founder, producer, and songwriter Beverly didn't have many pop hits, but they were extremely popular among soul and urban contemporary audiences and enjoyed at least six or seven gold albums. The majority of tickets for this event are available through ticketmaster. Produced by Upfront Promotions George Benson, Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds & special guest Ledisi Thursday, June 25 Gates 5pm $40 - $85 George Benson | Babyface | Ledisi Appreciated as both musician and performer by millions, George Benson has always had the duel personae of expert improviser and vibrant entertainer. If you were to closely examine the annals of modern pop music history, few creative forces have been more seminal or impacted the contemporary pop/urban genres as much as Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds. From her name to her music to her mission to the circuitous path that brought her to legendary Verve Records, Ledisi is a galvanizing, all-natural wonder. Wherever she goes, she wows and astounds.
