SUMMARY:Patti LaBelle with Special Guest Leela James
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful\, simply does not describe the incomparable force known to the world as Patti LaBelle. As time continues to evolve\, the soulful songbird’s name has become synonymous with grace\, style\, elegance and class. Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions\, pop standards and spiritual sonnets have created the unique platform of versatility that Ms. Patti is known and revered for. As she continues into her fourth decade of performing\, the Philadelphia maven has returned to her roots with her latest project\, The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle. “I was born gospel\, so it’s not like I’m coming back or trying to impress people with this new gospel project. I’ve always done this. I’ve never done a whole album. That’s the only thing that’s missing\,” observes the songstress. “I’ve come full circle where you can say it’s a complete project.” The church tour accompanied the release of The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle. It began at The Potter’s House in Texas\, home to Bishop TD Jakes. Patti was blessed to have gospel legend Shirley Ceasar pray a special prayer\, “for people to accept me as the new carrier of His word. God is working on me\, He’s working through me\, and He’s putting changes all over me – positive. I know I’m chosen. I know this is something I was meant to do. For 10 years now I’ve been trying to do this gospel album and I finally did it. And it feels so good singing these songs.” For Ms. Patti\, she simply desires for her fans not to judge her with this record and to be aware that this gift is from her heart and deep within her soul. “I want them to take away a beautiful message. I want them to take away a beautiful CD\, which means take it home\, buy it so that we can help with this cancer calling.” That humility and honesty has been the true gospel according to Patti LaBelle. “Staying a person that people can say they encountered and she was very\, very giving. She didn’t get Hollywood on us. I never want to be thought of as a Hollywood person\, you know the people who don’t have time for the people who made them.” The same motivation that had Patricia Louis Holt blossom from a choir member to lead vocalist for Patti LaBelle &amp; The Bluebelles to a solo artist is the same energy that keeps her fire burning at six-two years young. “Each year I grow\, and that’s a blessing from God. I do what I can do. I do what I feel God has given me the energy to do\, so I just go out there and I do it-It’s not about making money because I don’t need money\, but I need to sing. With a voice or without\, I’ve got to get on that stage.” And the world is thankful that Ms. Patti’s preaching sounds so good to our ears. \n\n\n\nWith a voice that’s raw\, powerful\, and unmistakably soul-stirring\, Leela James has carved out a singular space in music where classic soul meets contemporary R&B. Since her breakout debut A Change Is Gonna Come in 2005\, Leela has earned a reputation for blending deep\, emotive storytelling with gritty vocals and timeless grooves. Influenced by legends like Aretha Franklin\, Al Green\, and Chaka Khan\, she channels the spirit of old-school soul while fearlessly pushing musical boundaries.  \n\n\n\nEarly in her career\, she was honored by the legendary James Brown\, who affectionately coined her “The Goddaughter of Soul\,” recognizing her authentic voice and powerful connection to the roots of the genre.  \n\n\n\nMs. James has gone on to record and release seven LPs\, delivering eight Top 20 R&B radio singles\, including two Number One tracks on the Billboard charts. Her 2021 single  \n\n\n\n“Complicated” topped the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart for three consecutive weeks in the summer of that year\, solidifying her reputation as a force in contemporary soul.  \n\n\n\nHer beloved ballad “Fall For You” is now considered a modern classic and was certified Gold in October 2022\, surpassing 500\,000 units sold. Over the years\, her music—including hits like “Don’t Want You Back” and “Say That” featuring Anthony Hamilton—has become synonymous with passion\, authenticity\, and emotional honesty.  \n\n\n\nIn 2014\, Leela won The Soul Train Certified Award\, and in 2021\, she garnered an NAACP Image Award nomination for Best R&B Collaboration. She earned another NAACP nomination in 2025 for her powerful single “Lookat Whatcha Done Now” featuring Kenyon Dixon\, further cementing her role as a vital and enduring voice in modern soul.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Butler
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Butler appearing at The Tin Pan in Richmond\, VA\n\n\nBox Office: The Tin Pan charges lower fees for box office versus online sales. Our box office is open Tues-Sat 12PM-5PM. Please visit us during those hours or call 804-447-8189. \nSeating: We assign seats in order of when you purchase your tickets. All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases. \n \n\n\nJonathan Butler\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram  \n\n\n\nJonathan Butler is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who leads a life few can imagine. Born in South Africa under the shadow of apartheid and raised in poverty\, Butler was the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television. Though his musical abilities would take him away from the world he grew up in\, Jonathan would neither forget the plight of his fellow South Africans\, nor the man that led them to freedom. It is for this reason Nelson Mandela credits Butler’s music as having inspired him during his imprisonment. In more ways than one\, Jonathan Butler is representative of South Africa. \nJonathan’s story begins at a very young age when his father presented him with a homemade one-string guitar. Little did his father realize that he was giving way to a musical phenomenon. From then on\, Jonathan’s musical gifts grew by leaps and bounds. In his early teens Butler won a local talent contest\, affording him the opportunity to perform with a touring musical company throughout South Africa. On occasion he would perform at lavish concert halls for whites only\, where he would not be allowed to use the bathroom\, and the very next night he would perform in a dilapidated local township. Ultimately\, his ticket to a new life was music. \nAt thirteen\, Jonathan’s talents caught the eyes and ears of the British record producer Clive Caulder. He was signed to Caulder’s Jive Records and the rest is history. Jonathan’s first single broke down racial barriers becoming the first song by a black artist played by white radio stations in South Africa and won the South African equivalent to a Grammy®. \nHis commitment to his craft came to fruition with his self-titled debut album\, which received a Grammy® nomination for the pop hit “Lies.” An instrumental “Going Home” earned him another Grammy® nomination and the mid-tempo ballad “Sarah\, Sarah” confirmed Butler’s place in popular music. \nHowever\, to Jonathan Butler\, success is measured on a higher plane. \nA religious and spiritual man\, Butler dedicates his life to being a devoted father and grandfather\, and a caring citizen to his homeland\, South Africa. \nAnd in spite of all the hardships\, Jonathan Butler has an air of playfulness and quiet resilience that is easily visible in his passionate performances.

SUMMARY:Ryan Davis | Richmond Funny Bone Comedy Club & Restaurant
DESCRIPTION:Ryan is a comedian out of Concord\, NC whose versatile style of comedy has allowed him open for mainstream acts such as Jay Pharoah of SNL\, urban acts like Michael Blackson of Next Friday\, and eccentric acts like Tom Green of The Tom Green Show. By winning many comedy competitions\, starting a successful monthly comedy showcase\, and gaining the respect of comedians that have been doing it 20+ years; Ryan proved that the amount of stand-up comedy success that he saw in such a short period of time was not a fluke. Due to his success as a viral internet star\, Ryan no longer is an opening act. Though he is known more for his online videos\, Ryan isn’t like the other internet comedians. He is a duel threat that is the first of his kind.
