SUMMARY:Gladys Knight
DESCRIPTION:The great ones endure\, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last sixty years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time GRAMMY Award winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop\, Gospel\, R&B\, and Adult Contemporary\, and has triumphed in film\, television\, and live performance.\n\nAll told\, Knight has recorded more than 38 albums over the years\, including four solo albums: “Good Woman” (1991); “Just for You” (1994); the inspirational “Many Different Roads” (1999); and “At Last” (2001).  “At Last” showed the world that she still has what it takes to record a hit album\, employing the talents of contemporary producers like Randy Jackson.\n\nKnight has continued to spread her acting wings\, making a guest star appearance in the FOX hit show “Star” and appearing in the film “Almost Christmas” in 2016\, both which were produced and directed by Lee Daniels.  She appeared on ABC’s 14th season of “Dancing With The Stars” in 2012. In 2019\, she competed on the inaugural season of “The Masked Singer” and sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta.  Knight sang the National Anthem on yet another major sports stage at the 2021 NBA All-Star Game. This past 2022 holiday season she starred in “I’m Glad It’s Christmas” on Great American Family and received the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for Lifetime Artistic Achievements along with George Clooney\, Amy Grant\, Tania Leone and U2 in December.  In addition\, this past March she received the National Medal of Arts along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus\, Bruce Springsteen\, Jose Feliciano and Mindy Kaling.  This year she will be honored as a 2024 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree.\n\nHer involvement in other creative undertakings\, business ventures and humanitarian activities has been extensive\, and has brought her honors from industry and community alike. In 2015\, A portion of Atlanta’s State Route 9 from Peachtree Street to 14th Street was officially named Gladys Knight Highway.\n\n\nSponsored by Get Off The Bus tours

SUMMARY:Behind The Lines
DESCRIPTION:Created by internationally acclaimed jazz musician Dominick Farinacci and combat veteran Jaymes Poling\, Behind the Lines: a 9/11 Story is a live story\, music\, and theatre performance set against the tragedy of the September 11 attacks and the war that followed. World Trade Center firefighter Bill Spade—the sole survivor from FDNY Rescue Company 5—and Poling\, a three-tour Afghanistan combat veteran with the 82nd Airborne Division\, relive their experiences and find an unexpected bond in strength\, meaning\, and the weight of what they continue to carry after service.\n\nFarinacci—described by The New York Times as “a trumpeter of abundant poise who plays beautifully\, with expressive control and brings true musicality”—brings an international career shaped by Juilliard\, Jazz at Lincoln Center\, a TED Talk\, and award-winning recordings\, alongside a deep commitment to music and mental well-being. Poling brings a hard-earned firsthand perspective and a powerful ability to translate lived experience into meaning and purpose onstage. Spade—featured on CBS Sunday Morning and the BBC—brings audiences inside the lived reality of that day and the aftermath\, sharing what he lived through with rare clarity\, courage\, and gravity.\n\nThe music serves as the internal voice of the piece—deepening the narrative and revealing the humanity beneath the events. Performed live by a full ensemble led by Farinacci\, the score spans original compositions alongside reimagined works by Leonard Cohen\, Gnarls Barkley\, Tom Waits\, and more\, heard through the emotional lens of the story. The production unfolds in a cinematic world where light\, image\, and space translate feeling into color. Inspired by synesthesia\, the multimedia and lighting design maps each shift in Bill and Jaymes’ psychological states\, creating an immersive environment that elevates both the storytelling and the music.
