From country to blues, jazz, R&B and funk, the legendary Ray Charles set the standard for greatness during a remarkable career that spanned more than five decades. Join the Pops for this celebration of the pioneering singer-pianist-composer who gave us years of musical joy with hits ranging from “Georgia on My Mind” to “Hit the Road Jack” and “Unchain My Heart.”
Ellis Hall is a multi-instrumentalist virtuoso who possesses a vocal style that commands attention in its diversity and depth. His first release as a solo artist was a version of the Motown smash from the 60s "Every Little Bit Hurts." His talents were showcased nationally and internationally with the Ellis Hall Group, opening for many top performers such as the Temptations, Earth Wind & Fire, Herbie Hancock, the Spinners and Natalie Cole.
