Angie Stone is making her way back to Memphis, along with Faith Evans and Dwele. Give the thanks to Dr. Derrick Payne and Marcus Dorris of Mix & Mingle Entertainment. It's all a part of Music Fest 2012 at The Cannon Center on Dec. 22.
Stone last graced the stage here a few years ago. At the time, I got the chance to talk to her regarding her career and her involvement in the reality show "Celebrity Fit Club," which seemed to be working for her weight-wise. I can't wait to catch up with her again.
The last time I spoke with Dwele was about two years ago. He had no idea that Memphis had such a big influence on popular music. I had to school the brother on some of our musical residents. He didn't know that Al Green was from here!
I've never gotten the chance to interview Faith Evans. (Get with me, Faith!) She will most certainly help accent a show that stacks up to be top notch. Don't miss out on a true night of smooth melodies and neo-soul to set the perfect mood. Tickets are available at the Cannon Center Box Office and all Ticketmaster outlets or by going to www.ticketmaster.com

Downtown Myron
Eye 2 Eye Live
Saturday nights are all the way live at Memphis Sounds Lounge. I know because I was there this past weekend. I didn't realize the Eye to Eye Band was that good. I was only planning to stay for a little while but I ended up being there for a couple of hours.
And that Jo Lynn Nadim, the lead singer, blew me away. Wow...why isn't this lady on tour somewhere?
Eye to Eye Live is each and every Saturday night from 10 p.m. until. Admission is $12. Memphis Sounds lounge is located Downtown at 22 North Third at Court. Indoor parking is available. You're not gonna want to leave either.
Parting Shot
I got a big weekend on the way. Frankie Beverly and Maze in concert, as well as the TSD Men of Excellence Awards. I'm gonna be in two places at one time. I'll be sure to let you know how that turns out. Until then, that's what's happening!
