The Women’s Day Committee of St. James A.M.E. Church, 1501 N. Patterson Avenue at the corner of 15th Street (across from the U.S. Postal Office), is sponsoring a pre-Women’s Day “Evening of Entertainment” Saturday, Sept. 12, from 6 to 9 p.m.
Nelson Roberts, gospel jazz musician who will soon release his debut album, will perform. The development of his distinctive style is the result of a lifetime of musical influence.
Growing up in a talented musical family meant that Nelson was always surrounded by different forms of music. His mother is a part-time soloist and lead singer with a gospel group, and his parents exposed him to a wealth of music as a child, all of which influenced his development.
Also performing will be comedian Minister Will “EJ” Furches.
Donations are $40 in advance and $45 at the door. Dinner is included. Seating is limited.
Contact Myrna D. Williams (336-923-5881) or Kimberly Howard-Green (336-995-8061) for further information. The Rev. Steven L. Lyons is the pastor. The public is invited to attend.
