His professional singing has landed him performances with stars such as Stevie Wonder, Phyllis Hyman, Jennifer Holliday and Peabo Bryson, among others.
Tickets for the concert are $22 in advance and $25 at the door. Tickets are available at the AACC box office at 350 Masten Avenue. Proceeds from the concert will support AACC programs and the “Give for Greatness” campaign.
