Friday, March 10, 2017, 8:00 pm
Who’s Bad‘s live performance is an unrivaled celebration of pop music’s one true King. As the longest-running Michael Jackson tribute band, and the only one to predate his untimely passing, Who’s Bad has awed even the skeptics, selling out multiple venues in the United Kingdom including London’s O2 in December of 2010, the venue where the King of Pop was slated to end his career with a 50-show “This Is It” concert series. Whether you idolized the Jackson 5, fell in love to “Human Nature,” or learned to moonwalk to “Billie Jean,” Who’s Bad is the ultimate in music-and-dance driven Michael Jackson homage.

Soweto Gospel Choir
Thursday, December 17, 2015, 8:00 pm
When it comes to vocal talent, Africa, and more particularly South Africa, has spawned the most evocative sounds on earth and still produces the very best that the world has to offer. Soweto Gospel Choir is that very best. Since its formation in 2002, Soweto Gospel Choir has brought joy into the lives of audiences all over the world. They have collaborated with artists including U2, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Robert Plant, Celine Dion, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peter Gabriel, and Josh Groban. Returning to Sunset Center for the first time in five years, the Choir will perform both traditional and contemporary songs full of earthy rhythms and rich harmonies, adding its own unique feel and interpretation to both.
Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most yearningly emotive instruments of our times. To this add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades. From ’70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like “I Keep Forgettin'” through two highly-acclaimed Motown albums, genre-busting guest spots, and innovative concept shows, the five-time Grammy® Award winning McDonald is both timeless and ever-evolving.
