On the night after Christmas when all the kids are happy and playing with their new toys, adults can have a fun night out in the form of Soulabration 2015, which Xperience Jxn Entertainment hosts.
“We subtitle it ‘the most soulful night of the year’ because all of the artists we put in this show are really soulful singers,” event promoter Yolanda Singleton says.
“We have southern soul, soul R&B—a mixture of artists for the young and the old so everybody will have an artist they’re familiar with.”
The line-up includes artists Shirley Brown, Willie Clayton, TK Soul, Calvin Richardson and Big Pokey Bear.
“It’s a clean, fun show,” Singleton says. They set it up cabaret-style with tables and chairs which Singleton says may give eventgoers the feeling of being in a club without actually being at a nightclub.
Soulabration 2015 is Saturday, Dec. 26, at the Mississippi Coliseum (1207 Mississippi St.). The doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $35, and reserved tables are $48. For more information, call 678-322-8098.
