MIDNIGHT SUN presents A TRIBUTE TO STEVIE WONDER

City Winery Chicago presents Midnight Sun live at City Winery Chicago

MIDNIGHT SUN - A TRIBUTE TO STEVIE WONDER

On the actual birthday of, and the observed holiday for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Midnight Sun will pay tribute to one of GOATs…Stevie Wonder. The entire show will feature music from Stevie’s amazing catalog which spans over 60 YEARS. Arguably the greatest songwriter in music history, it is only right that The Sun honors the humanitarian who did more than any other artist to push the culture and Congress to declare MLK’s birthday as a National Holiday. Vocalists Isiah Mitchell & Marqueal Jordan, along with the legendary band, will leave it all on the stage to honor one of their biggest music heroes.

There is no band in Chicago like Midnight Sun. Established 1976, this 10-piece ensemble throws down with 4-part harmony, full horn section and percussion.

Assembled from Chicago's elite funk, soul, and R&B talent, members of Midnight Sun have backed the biggest artists: The Isley Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Buddy Guy, Gerald Albright, Roy Ayers, Chris Greene Quartet, Destiny's Child, Brian Culbertson, The Emotions, Terisa Griffin, Fred Hammond, Lalah Hathaway, Al Jarreau, The Ides of March, JD McPherson, Marcus Miller, David Sanborn, Jill Scott, Johnnie Taylor, CeCe Winans–the list keeps going.
