6 JANUARY 21-27, 2015 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM There's nothing like music to warm the soul and set the mood for an evening of love and romance, which is why Headliners Live is taking Eargazm Volume 1, featuring Brian McKnight, Eric Benet and Tevin Campbell across the country. The concept of the tour is to provide pure unadulterated musical ecstasy from beginning to end. The tour is hosted by comedian Kevin Simpson who will keep the show moving and keep the audience in stitches with his shoot- from-the-hip style of humor. The entertainers will perform their greatest hits and other hits that inspired them to embark on their musical careers. The lineup includes solo as well as group performances and duets. Brian McKnight is an accomplished singer, songwriter and instrumentalist. He has had 16 Grammy nominations and sold 20 million albums worldwide. The Buffalo, N.Y., native grew up in a family where music came naturally and he had a gospel upbringing in the church. Over time, McKnight explored other genres of music and began writing and learned how to play several musical instruments. Eric Benet has released six studio albums and is known for his melodic love songs. Eric grew up in Milwaukee, Wis., and is the youngest of five musically talented siblings. Eric has also ventured into the role of actor and starred in his first lead role in the feature film Trinity Goodheart.
