Ada Dyer Sings Aretha Franklin
Friday, July 20, 2012 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Tonight's Concert will be indoors at the Center at 7.
After making her Broadway debut in The Wiz, Chicago-born R&B vocalist Ada Dyer went on to work with Sting, Roberta Flack, Lenny Kravitz, Cher, the J. Geils Band, Boz Scaggs, Michael Bolton and Luther Vandross.
"Anyone who appreciates a truly soulful voice singing meaningful songs should do whatever it takes to get this."
Justin Kantor on All Music
Performing with Ms. Dyer will be: Etienne Lytle (keyboards), Kahlil Kwame Bell (drums), Billy Grant (bass/vocals), Kaspar Galli (guitar), Marty Kersich (sax) and Dennis Collins and Emily Surtees (vocals).
Because of the generosity of Friends of Kent Library, Radovich & Dean Music, Kent Liquors, and Joan Iacono Law, the concerts are pay-what-you-wish.
Arrive early with a lawn chair or blanket. Vendors Carmel Bagel and Johnny Gelato Ice Cream will be on-site starting at 6:15.
In the event of rain, the concert will be held indoors at the Center.
