The “Legends Live Atlanta,” concert will kick off the Big Game Weekend, Friday, February 1st at the Georgia International Convention Center, located at 2000 Convention Center Concourse, College Park, GA. Doors open at 5:45 PM, the show begins promptly at 7:00 PM.
“Legends Live Atlanta” boasts a powerful line-up, which includes the legendary Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly, who has become one of the most influential R&B/Soul groups in history; the iconic Isley Brothers, whose catalogue is reportedly the most sampled in Hip-Hop music, and the incomparable Keke Wyatt who became known for effortlessly leaving audiences mesmerized with her unmatched vocal range and exceptional ability. The show will be hosted by V103’s morning on-air personality Frank Ski.
Dynamic and soulful, “Legends Live Atlanta,” produced and promoted by B Bold Entertainment together with Total Access Talent, will provide locals and visitors with an unforgettable concert-going experience they will cherish for years to come.
“There will be a lot going on in the city that weekend. We wanted to produce an amazing live concert experience inspired by the rich history of Atlanta for music lovers and fans that want to share in the ambiance and excitement of the Big Game,” says concert organizer Melissa Sessoms.
The Isley Brothers left their initial mark on R&B charts in 1959 with “Shout” – which would sell a million copies and become a standard – they scored the #1 R&B hit “Twist and Shout” (both songs were subsequently covered by The Beatles) in 1962. But it was 1969’s “It’s Your Thing” that cemented their fame, shooting to #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and ultimately selling more than five million copies. The song also earned a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance.
Ketara (Keke) Wyatt, in her teens, became a protégée of noted producer Steve Huff, and under his wing she recorded demos for record labels and developed her songwriting. Shortly after meeting R&B singer Avant at 16 years old, they together recorded “My First Love,” a duet, becoming Keke’s first hit single, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Top 100 charts. Keke signed her first solo album deal with MCA Records by the age of 18, and with help from her good friend Randy Jackson (American Idol), she recorded her first solo album within a swift two weeks. The album “Soul Sister” produced her first platinum-selling album and another Billboard Top 5 hit: “Nothing in this World.”
