Marcus Anderson with specials guests Kenny Lattimore & Julian Vaughn

2-time Grammy and Stellar Award Nominated saxophonist Marcus Anderson is an incredible act and one worth watching. With 15 studio albums on his list of accomplishments and 5 Billboard number 1s, the fusion jazz artist brings R&B, Pop, Rock, and Funk to make music that puts listeners in another atmosphere. Charting number one in both categories of Billboard’s Smooth Jazz and Sirius XM’s Watercolors with numerous hits, the Spartanburg, SC native is delivering major music with humility. His work with the late Prince and the New Power Generation led him to join stages with the likes of Ceelo Green, Bobby Caldwell, Eric Benet, Stevie Wonder, and Brian Culbertson, just to name a few, where he had become a key contributor in these touring bands. Prince also featured Marcus on his last release Hit N Run Phase 2, playing on “Revelation” and “Look at Me Look at You”.

Anderson is an act that puts on a show for and with household names. Whether he is performing for dignitaries such as President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson and Hillary Clinton or blazing the stage with Sheila E., Anthony Hamilton or Miguel in a collaborative effort, Anderson is always the man of the hour, delivering stellar musicianship every time.

High-spirited and welcoming, Anderson is a multi-instrumentalist who is not afraid of “giving it his all.” He has also appeared with headliners on top-ranking shows like The Tonight Show, Arsenio Hall, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Jimmy Fallon.

Hailed by the New York Times as a “modern soul man,” Grammy Award nominated singer songwriter Kenny Lattimore is in a groove with another #1 Billboard charting hit Take A Dose! Following years of major cable deals, he is now producing consistent chart toping music on his independent label SincereSoul Records.

The singer has garnered Grammy, Soul Train and Stellar Awards nominations as well as the NAACP Image Award for Best New Artist. His nuanced vocals have graced projects by a diverse array of artists from Musiq Soulchild and Rachelle Ferrell to Nancy Wilson and Boney James. This prestigious list also includes Kanye West, who sampled Lattimore’s “Lately” for the track “I’m in It” from West’s #1 album Yeezus. Lattimore also created musical magic on the iconic movie soundtracks Love Jones, Best Man and Disney’s Lion King II Simba’s Pride.

Lattimore’s latest project Here To Stay is receiving rave reviews. The 10 song set is led by the single Pressure and currently the Billboard UAC #1 charting Take A Dose. Kenny continues to tour, showcasing his unique creative journey through stunning and diverse set lists.

Born and raised in Kansas City, KS, Julian Vaughn was primarily a drummer when he picked up the bass guitar. Vaughn developed his playing style while growing up in the church where his grandfather pastored until turning over the reins to Vaughn's father. A few years later, he became good enough to start playing at concerts and live gospel recordings.

Vaughn launched his solo career in 2010 with his album The Purpose Project, which springboarded him into his jazz career. In 2012 he put out the album Breakthrough (2012), featuring the single "On Your Feet," which peaked at #1 on the Billboard chart. He later would release albums Limitless (2015), Bona Fide (2017), Supreme (2019), and Chapters of Love (2021). Vaughn racked up four Billboard #1 hits between his albums and 8 #1s overall as a feature on various artists' songs. Vaughn has toured across the U.S., playing at some of the largest jazz festivals. In addition, he has performed abroad in places like Dubai, South Africa, Nigeria, Nairobi, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Vaughn takes pride in writing and producing almost all his music, saying, "I want to be known as a great writer and producer just as much as an artist."

In 2020 Vaughn was the #2 Artist of the year and had the #2 and #17 Billboard songs of the year, “Afro Calypso” and “Afternoon Delight.” His latest independent release, titled "SOLO" is slated to be his best work to date. As Vaughn's recording catalog continues to grow, he hopes to continue to redefine the lead bassist role in the smooth jazz genre.
