"Storyteller"
Saturday, March 5, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
Center Theater
"Storyteller"
the performance introduces you to T-Roy, the singer/songwriter and Neo-classic
Soul artist. T-Roy has chosen the California Center For the Arts,
Escondido to showcase his Neo-classic musical debut CD release entitled
"Storyteller".
"Storyteller" is a collection of original songs based on real life
experience that explore love, truth and self-realization. For those of you
wondering, Neo-Classic Soul differs from R&B music in focusing on lyrical
content and making social or personal statements.
There will be free Hors d' Oeuvres and a cash bar from 6-7 p.m. The
performances begin promptly at 7 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. The
evening will be hosted by comedian and female impersonator Donnell as "Grannie
Pearl" from America's Got Talent. The all-female R&B group S'ence
will open the show and your boy T-Roy will perform all the way live for the rest
of the evening. Immediately following the show there will be free dessert
and a meet and greet with T-Roy from 9-10 p.m.
Tickets: $45
