Love, Laughter & Legacy: Alvin Garrett Brings a Soulful Mother’s Day Experience to Birmingham (May 10)

BIRMINGHAM, AL — If you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day this year, Alvin Garrett is bringing something special to the Magic City.

On Sunday, May 10, the historic Carver Theatre will set the stage for “Laughter, Love & Legacy: A Mother’s Day Celebration”—a one-of-a-kind experience blending live music, comedy, and heartfelt moments designed to honor the women who raised us.

For Garrett, this isn’t just another show—it’s personal.

A Homecoming with Purpose

“I’m currently promoting a new album entitled Talk To Her Like This, and this event is the perfect homecoming for my promotional tour,” Garrett shared.

The project centers around love and uplifting women, making Mother’s Day the ideal backdrop.

“Why not bring it home on the holiday that we celebrate our mothers and talk to ‘them’ like this…or shall I say sing to them.”

More Than a Concert — It’s an Experience

Garrett is intentional about the energy he brings to the stage, and this show will be no different.

“When I perform, I always infuse love and laughter into my shows,” he said.

That balance is key—especially on a day that can carry a range of emotions.

“Mother’s Day may be a heavy emotional day for some; and I want this experience to be one that puts a smile on everyone’s face as we give flowers to the mothers that are with us and to those that are watching over us.”

 The Carver Theatre Connection

Returning to the Carver Theatre adds another layer of meaning.

“About 10 years ago, I promoted ‘Christmas with The Cats’ at The Carver and it was one of my favorite venues,” Garrett reflected.

He describes the venue as the perfect mix of intimacy and production value—ideal for the type of connection he wants with the audience.

“I’m hoping this can be the start of a new tradition in Birmingham.”

Beyond the nostalgia, the Carver Theatre is experiencing a fresh wave of energy thanks to its recent renovations—earning praise from patrons, promoters, and even national touring artists. The upgraded auditorium now features a state-of-the-art audio/visual system, delivering an immersive experience through enhanced sound, projection, and media control capabilities. The redesigned foyer offers a welcoming reception and bar area perfect for pre-show vibes and post-show conversations. Add in the jazz museum on the second floor, and the Carver has reestablished itself as more than just a historic landmark—it’s a modern, multi-experience venue built for everything from intimate concerts to full-scale productions.

A Curated Lineup with Rising Talent

Joining Garrett on stage are Yoshihanaa and DJ Wright, both artists he’s actively working with behind the scenes.

“I wanted to present artists that I am currently producing original music with as well,” he said.

Fans can even expect to hear brand-new music, including “Fall In Love Again,” a record Garrett co-wrote and produced.

Honoring Legacy Through Music

The heart of the show is right there in the title—Legacy.

“Legacy has a soundtrack,” Garrett explained, pointing to the timeless influence of artists like Al Green.

He’s also planning a special tribute during the show, including a performance of his song “Flowers,” designed to honor both present and past mothers.

“Love and laughter is the key to gracefully embracing the legacy of our mothers.”

A Message Rooted in Joy

Garrett credits much of his outlook—and his music—to his own mother.

“She always taught me to approach life with joy and laughter,” he said.

That message is something he carries into every performance.

“I try to spread joy and inspiration with my music and my life…even during difficult times.”

Why You Don’t Want to Miss This

If you’ve never experienced Alvin Garrett live, this is the show to start with.

“I’ve built a legacy in Birmingham of presenting shows with a high level of professionalism and production quality,” he said.

But this one hits different.

“I just want to show my gratitude with a performance that everyone can be proud of…especially our mothers.”

What’s Next

This Mother’s Day concert is just the beginning.

“This will be the kickoff show for my ‘Talk To Her Like This’ tour,” Garrett revealed.

The tour will include full-band performances, media appearances, and stops across multiple cities as he continues to push his latest album.
