Gone Too Soon

D’Angelo’s time in the spotlight was intentional, deliberate, and deeply transformative. Emerging as a defining voice of the neo-soul movement, D’Angelo reshaped R&B with his unapologetic artistry, musical precision, and emotional vulnerability. From his groundbreaking debut Brown Sugar to the culturally resonant Voodoo and Black Messiah, his work challenged industry norms while centering Black expression, love, and resistance.
In this concert experience featuring some of the region’s most powerful vocalists and musicians, audiences will be immersed in the music that changed the sound of modern soul. Expect to hear favorites like “Brown Sugar,” “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” “Lady,” and more — while learning about the man behind the mystique. Come ready to groove, reflect, and feel every note. Don’t miss Gone Too Soon: The Spirit of D’Angelo.
Gone Too Soon
Teddy Pendergrass didn’t just sing soul music — he embodied it. Rising to fame as the unmistakable voice of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes before launching a legendary solo career, Teddy redefined masculinity, romance, and vulnerability in R&B. His voice was commanding yet tender, and his influence continues to shape generations of artists.
This concert celebrates the strength, passion, and resilience that defined Teddy’s legacy. Featuring standout vocalists performing classics like “Close the Door,” “Turn Off the Lights,” “Love T.K.O.,” and more, audiences will journey through the highs, challenges, and triumphs of his life and music. Prepare for an evening that is powerful, emotional, and unforgettable. Don’t miss Gone Too Soon: The Power of Teddy Pendergrass.
