We’ve had a change in performers for our Dec. 2 concert. The LSCF is pleased to welcome Gerald McClendon to Jamming Jean. This exceptionally versatile Soul and R&B performer has played to sellout crowds in many of the major entertainment venues throughout the Midwest.
If you love R&B and Soul music, you’ll love McClendon’s extraordinary performance style. He sings the classic sounds of Motown, Stax and Atlantic records, and draws from artists such as Ottis Redding, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Chi-Lites, Stevie Wonder and even Frank Sinatra.
Hecky’s Barbecue will be catering the concert. Grab dinner from this Evanston institution, and enjoy while you bop to the tunes. Wine and beer will be available for purchase.
Join us December 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Maple Room at the Levy Senior Center. This concert is free and open to the public.
