Lalah Hathaway Vanta Black Tour with Anthony David and Jubu Smith
2024-08-24 19:30 - 22:30 UTC
Five-time Grammy Award winner Lalah Hathaway releases her seventh solo studio album, VANTABLACK, her most empowered and impressive effort to date, June 14th via Hathaway Entertainment/SRG Records. Along with co-producers Phil Beaudreu, Ariza, Warryn Campbell and Eric Dawkins, Hathaway has created a sixteen track sonic landscape filled with dynamic production and superhuman vocals and is joined by feature performances from WILLOW, Rapsody, Common, Michael McDonald, Phonte, MC Lyte and Gerald Albright. In Hathaway’s words, ‘VANTABLACK takes its name from a pigment, the darkest shade of black ever created. It felt so right for me and this project right now because I set out to make the blackest record EVER! And I did. This album represents the multiplicity of what being black means to me. And I love it!’

Craig Ferguson LIVE at the Stardome

Main Room
A stand-up comedian, actor, writer and television host, Scottish native Craig Ferguson made a splash with American audiences as the gleefully maligned English boss Mr. Wick on the hit sitcom, “The Drew Carey Show” (ABC, 1995-2004). But Ferguson found his true voice in front of smaller late-night audiences after replacing Craig Kilborn on “The Late Late Show” (CBS, 2005- ), where his honest, self-effacing style of humor slowly but surely attracted a loyal audience. While other late night hosts like David Letterman, Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien publicly fought for attention and ratings, Ferguson quietly carved out his own space with his slashing wit, unscripted monologues and disarming personal candor. Over time, he developed a number of elements branded with laid-back humor, such as lip-syncing popular songs, incorporating a wide array of puppet characters into his opening monologue, and impersonating the likes of Sean Connery, Aquaman, and Queen Elizabeth II. In more serious moments on the show, he eulogized his dad the day after he passed and often made light of his struggles with alcohol addiction, which ended in the early 1990s. Meanwhile, Ferguson found little time to appear outside his show, though he did voiceover work for the animated films “How to Train Your Dragon” (2010) and “Winnie the Pooh” (2011). Though he did so quietly, Ferguson secured his place as a popular talk show host, giving audiences a good reason to say up even later. In April 2014, Ferguson announced that he was leaving late-night television to work on other projects.

Kings of Southern Soul
2024-06-28 19:30 - 22:00 | Birmingham, AL, Birmingham, AL, 35203, United States
An electrifying evening of Southern Soul & Blues featuring King George, Pokey Bear, J-Wonn and Ronnie Bell and hosted by MC Lightfoot.
Based out of Hopkin, South Carolina, vocalist/songwriter King George makes smooth, party-centric R&B tracks with an old-school flair. Good times, relaxed mind states, and romantic moods are the primary subjects of all of King George’s feel-good tunes, and tracks like his 2022 single “Keep On Rollin” were streamed millions of times over. Carrying the torch for Southern soul, King George began releasing his ’90s-inspired melodic R&B tracks around 2020. Weekend anthems like “Leave & Party” and “Friday Night” caught on regionally, thanks to both local airplay and King George’s readiness to take his show on the road throughout the South. His 2022 single “Keep On Rollin” became one of the King’s biggest songs to date, with millions in streams and video views, and he followed it up later that year with new track “Girl You Got It.”
