A Soulful Evening With Glenn Jones

May 28, 2016 @ 8:00 pm

$35 – $50

Glenn Jones

Jones started his career as a gospel singer, working and recording with the Florida-based gospel group, The Modulations, before managing a successful move into the R&B field. He got his recording start in R&B in 1980 when Norman Connors featured the singer on a track, "Melancholy Fire" on his album, Take It To The Limit. The song was later released as a single, climbing to #20 on the Billboard R&B chart.

Jones toured with Connors and then in 1983, signed a deal with RCA. In the same year, he issued a five-track mini-album Everybody Loves A Winner that had the top 30 R&B single, "I Am Somebody". His first full-length album, Finesse, was released in 1984 and established Jones as a force in the industry. The single "Show Me," reached #3 on the R&B charts. The second single, "Bring Back Your Love" reached #18 on the R&B charts.

His last album for RCA was Take It From Me which came out in 1986. The title track for the album was featured in the movie, Youngblood.

Moving to Jive in 1987, Jones scored a big hit with "We've Only Just Begun" which reached #2 on the Billboard R&B chart. The track was the lead single off his album, Glenn Jones, released in 1987.

In 1992, Jones moved to Atlantic Records. During the same year, Jones released the album, Here I Go Again. Its first single, "Here I Go Again", was his only single to reach #1 on the R&B charts. The second single, "I've Been Searchin' (Nobody Like You)" was also successful, peaking at #8 R&B. His album Here I Am was released in 1994 and had a minor hit with the ballad "Round and Round", which reached #24 on the R&B charts.

Since then, Jones released the album It's Time in 1998 and Feels Good (Peak Records) in 2002, neither of which were very successful on the charts. A radio friendly track from the latter "Feels Good", the romantic wedding song "From Now On", with jazz/soul song stylist Regina Belle, got some radio airplay.

In 2006, Jones released Forever: Timeless R&B Classics.

Klyntel

KLYNTEL (KLY-N-TELL) is a band that specializes in a myriad of “collective grooves”. From Fusion Jazz to Funk, from Rock to Soul, Klyntel prides themselves on.

Created in the late 90’s as an R&B quartet, Klyntel took a hiatus musicianship from the scene to raise their families but resurrected themselves as a band in early 2009 to get back to the art of real music.

No auto tune, no loops, just creative genius and craftsmanship.

Klyntel’s first CD “Uninhibited: The Groove Collective” was a masterpiece of instrumental jams they compiled over the first year of their rebirth which produced such hits as “Red CoolAde” & “My Time” a favorite in Europe.

The Second CD “Klyntelligence” focuses on the vocal ability & their R&B/Soul roots, couple that with the live show that promises High Energy Jazz with Hip Hop and Funk connotations.

Something else that’s new is the addition of featuring more vocals and different vocalist including Todd Brown. Todd’s knowledge as an industry professional has been valuable. He’s worked with notable iconic songwriters such as Narada Michael Walden, was signed to Motown Records as well as M.C. Hammer’s label, Todd added the complete sound.

While Klyntel continues to churn out new music, they continue to tour and gig nationally and have had the pleasure to share the stage with artist like Roger Fisher (Heart) The Writers Block (who wrote the hit for Nicki Minaj’s hit single featuring Rihanna “Fly”, Freeway Jay Z’s Roc-a-fella Records), Michael Phillips, and Amanda Diva. Klyntel; definitely one to watch for.

Surround Sound Band

Surround Sound Band, Seattle’s Premier Live R&B, Soul and Funk cover band comprised of some the most talented musicians/vocalist in the Seattle area.
