AN INTIMATE EVENING WITH
LALAH HATHAWAY and Special Guest
APRIL 6, 2013 7:30 pm
Meymandi Concert Hall Progress Energy Center for The Performing Arts
2 E South Street Raleigh, NC Tickets on Sale NOW!
Box Office: 919-996-8700 - Ticketmaster: 800-745-3000
LALAH HATHAWAY
Born to R&B/Soul music royalty, most people know her simply as the daughter of late Soul music legend, Donny Hatha-
way. But there is more to her than that. A trained pianist and vocalist, she is a graduate of the Berklee School of Music and
her career has spanned two decades. 21 years after the release of her first LP, her career continues to thrive.
It was 1990 when Lalah made her music debut on Virgin Records with the self-titled album Lalah Hathaway, effortlessly
fusing elements of R&B, Jazz and Pop. The resonance in her voice immediately struck a chord with music lovers and her
first single "Heaven Knows" solidified her place in R&B music. The disc also spawned the hit "Baby Don't Cry" and featured
fan favorites "Somethin' " and "I'm Coming Back." It was evident that Lalah not only had the voice, but the talent to carry
on her father's legacy while shaping her own musical destination. Lalah distinctly set herself apart from other R&B artists
of the time by making music that was true to her heart. In 1994, Lalah released her much-anticipated 2nd album A Moment
with "Let Me Love You" serving as the album's lead single.
Lalah has 5 solo albums to her credit including the long awaited album Outrun The Sky, yielding the #1 single "Forever,
For Always, For Love" -a remake of the classic Luther Vandross tune.
Lalah understands who she is as an artist and continues to remain consistently true to her vision in song and lyric. Like
aged, fine wine, her voice continues to get better with time.
This is a must-see concert that you will be talking about in years to come so purchase your tickets TODAY.
