Terry Steele sings Vandross tunes
FESTIVAL OF ARTS
Two-time Grammy nominee Terry Steele brings the music of Luther Vandross into homes via the Festival of Arts’ “Concerts on the Screen” series at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 29.
“Terry Steele is a phenomenal singer and incredible performer,” said Susan Davis, director of special events at the Laguna Beach arts institution. “We are elated to be able to bring a Festival favorite to our virtual stage and continue to offer online experiences that can help our community stay connected, entertained and enriched in the arts.”
The pre-recorded concert, filmed on the Festival of Arts grounds, features Steele performing the music of one of R& B’s most beloved singers. Steele is no stranger to the legendary Vandross, as he starred in the successful 2007 off-Broadway production of “Here and Now: The Legacy of Luther Vandross.” As an award-winning songwriter, Steele has written for and/or collaborated with such artists as Dionne Warwick, Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross. He has also recorded three internationally released solo albums, plus six others with world-music band Hiroshima.
The virtual “Concerts on the Screen” series is presented in partnership with Yamaha. Tickets are $25 per household (or, for Festival members, free) and are available via www.foapom.com/ event/virtual-concert-steele. Preregistration is required.
Steele's concert was recorded from the Festival of Arts stage.
