The Auditorium Theatre presents
Jeffrey Osborne with special guest Will Downing
Friday, February 14 | 8PM
Jeffrey Osborne’s solo career has brought him four grammy nominations, five gold and platinum albums, including his debut self entitled album ”Jeffrey Osborne,” “Stay with Me Tonight,” and “Only Human”. He scored an international hit with “On the Wings of Love” in 1982. His latest project entitled “Worth It All” was released in 2018 on Mack Avenue Records, this project was written and produced by Jeffrey Osborne, with the exception of one song entitled ”Work It” which was co-written with his son Jeffrey Osborne Jr. who also performed on the track with him. This project, inspired by the late great George Duke has taken Osborne back to his deep R&B roots.
With a career that spans over 30 years and 21 albums, Will Downing is one of the most versatile and loved voices of our time. Known as The Prince of Sophisticated Soul, his repertoire consists of signature interpretations of R&B classics like “I Go Crazy”, “Wishing On A Star” and “I Try”, with original hits “A Million Ways”, “Sorry I” and the show-stopping duet with Rachelle Ferrell, “Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This”. With fresh melodies and lush arrangements that satisfy all musical palates, Downing continues to serve his fan base through his own Sophisticated Soul record label and sold out tour dates across the country. This Valentine's Day, join Jeffrey Osborne and Will Downing for a special evening at The Auditorium!
