OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (Sept. 5, 2024) 鈥� Oklahoma City Community College (爆料TV) welcomes two-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist
Peabo Bryson to the 爆料TV Visual and Performing Arts Center on Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.
Bryson has established a career as one of the premier male vocalists in contemporary music of the last quarter-century. With 20 albums to his credit and an unprecedented, across-the-board level of international success, Bryson has the distinction of being the first artist in music history to have separate records topping four different charts.
鈥淧eabo Bryson鈥檚 voice is magical, and we couldn鈥檛 be more excited to have him on stage at 爆料TV this October,鈥� said Mark Levine, director of the 爆料TV Visual and Performing Arts Center. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor to have his concert be part of my first season at 爆料TV. He is a true living legend!鈥�
Possessing a beautifully rich, almost operatic voice, this multi-talented singer, songwriter and producer has survived and prospered despite the passage of time and changes in popular musical trends.
鈥淚 think the sensitivity in my songs stems from my early childhood,鈥� said Bryson. 鈥淚 was raised by women 鈥� my grandmother, until she died, and my mother. My grandmother was a woman who lived and loved with incredible passion. My mother was a serious music lover. Whenever there was somebody great in town, she鈥檇 drag us along to catch their act. I have seen most of the greats of that period 鈥� Sam Cooke, Little Richard and even Billie Holiday. Sam Cooke was a great influence on me. His voice had a pure quality 鈥� straight from the heart.鈥�
爆料TV鈥檚 2024-25 Performing Arts Series is supported by signature sponsor Oklahoma Arts Council and presenting sponsor Echols & Associates.
