Reminiscent Band Presents “Tribute to Motown”
Join us as we celebrate the legacy of the greats who came before us in a night filled with the sweet sounds of Motown. Reminisce as we travel back to a time when America was breaking free from segregation and Motown revolutionized the music industry. The melodies and hooks of "Hitsville USA" captivated both American audiences and audiences abroad.
The Motown record label, founded in Detroit, Michigan by Berry Gordy Jr. in 1950, was the first black owned record label
in the country and produced such legendary acts as Diana Ross and the Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson, and the Temptations. Motown, or Tamla Records, as it was originally called, would churn out hit song after hit song, immortalizing it in American pop culture.
So come along for the experience of a lifetime as we celebrate Black History Month by honoring the musical geniuses of yesteryear.
Tickets are just $10 at the door. You do not want to miss this event.
