Smoky barbecue, fried fish, greens and cornbread, you’ll find it here.
Once your belly’s full, settle back in the lawn chair you brought and listen to a full day’s entertainment of soul music.
Artists tapped to perform are:
The Whispers
This legendary band from the ’60s has left an indelible mark on R&B, with smooth as silk vocals, tight harmonies and plain old class.
Rachelle Ferrell
The gentle spirit and incredible range of the lovely Rachelle Ferrell, along with her skillful, inspired piano riffs, makes her a must-see.
Zapp
Zapp originated in the imaginations of three of the five Troutman brothers: Lester, Larry and Roger, joined later by Terry and Gregory Jackson. The band’s fresh sound inspired funk players with its hand clapped-drum beat funk, and techno-geeks with its use of the talk box, and everything from West Coast hip-hop to G-funk.
Next
This R&B group became popular in the ’90s led by R.L. Huggar, best known for the sexy hits, Too Close, Wifey and Butta Love. Expect to hear those and perhaps a few original compositions he’s written for some other performers including Jamie Foxx.
Dru Hill
Still most recognized for bandmember Sisqo’s hit, Thong Song, this group has a repertoire that includes blues, soul and gospel. After changes in members and focus, the band released nDRUpendence Day, its fourth album, in 2010, which features Tao, the group’s new member. Three singles have been released: Love MD, Remain Silent and Back to the Future.
Tevin Campbell
Campbell was introduced to the R&B world by Quincy Jones in 1989. His debut single, Tomorrow (A Better You Better Me), shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip hop Singles chart. He’s been nominated for six Grammys and has released four albums. You’ll surely hear his hits, including: Tell Me What You Want Me to Do, Alone with You, Goodbye, Can We Talk, I’m Ready, and Always in My Heart.
