SUMMARY:HOWARD HEWETT & MICHAEL LINGTON
DESCRIPTION:Howard Hewett is one of the most gifted vocalists in the Post-Marvin Gaye era of pop R&B. \nHe started singing as a child\, fronting his older sisters in The Hewett Singers. The group toured the gospel circuit. As a teen\, Hewett sharpened his crooner skills in a funk band called Lyfe. In 1976\, Hewett moved to Los Angeles and formed a group put together by the owners of the historic Maverick’s Flat\, called Beverly Hills. \n​Hewett got his mainstream break as the male vocal lead in Shalamar\, a centerpiece of Dick Griffey’s SOLAR (Sound of Los Angeles Records) label. His tenor voice mixed beautifully with the bright vocals of Jody Watley\, the dancing skills of Jeffery Daniels and the writing and production of Leon Sylvers III. The group gave the world feel-good dance favorites The Second Time Around and A Night to Remember\, the baby-making classic For the Lover in You\, as well as a number of beautiful B-side ballads like You Can Count On Me and Somewhere There’s a Love. When Watley and Daniels left the group in 1983\, Hewett continued to lead Mickey Free and Delisa Davis in the reconstituted Shalamar. This version of the group was best known for soundtrack contributions on Footloose and Beverly Hills Cop with Dancing in the Sheets and the Grammy-winning Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills\, respectively. \n​In the mid-eighties\, Howard sets out on his solo career\, releasing I Commit to Love in 1986 on Elektra and from the first single Hewett made magic\, giving his amorous voice and whimsical lyrics to Stay\, I’m For Real and the title track. Most beloved track on this freshman release would be his spiritually grounded Say Amen. This single soared on the Inspirational charts and has enjoyed the status of a modern gospel classic. \n​Subsequent projects have solidified Hewett’s place in the high ranks of R&B balladeers by writing and collaborating and lending his voice within an intimate group of crooners\, including George Duke\, Quincy Jones\, James Ingram\, Anita Baker\, Prince and Stanley Clarke. With Elektra\, he released Forever and Ever (1988- Once\, Twice\, Three Times)\, Howard Hewett (1990- Show Me) and Allegiance (1992- Can We Try Again). \n​Later work shows increasing authenticity as Hewett rips song lyrics straight from his soul. It’s Time (1994- This Love is Forever)\, written and produced almost exclusively with long time friend and collaborator Monte Seward\, displays all the vulnerability involved in falling and staying in love. In 2001\, Hewett released the all inspirational album The Journey\, where he shows us that his faith can’t be separated from his heart and soul. \n​Hewett continues to seduce audiences and eardrums as he is constantly touring and intermittently releasing new music. \n​“Of all the fine vocalists working today\, Howard Hewett is one of the finest.” – Babyface \nMichael Lington is an award winning saxophonist\, songwriter\, producer\, recording artist and a purveyor of soul and contemporary jazz. \nPowering full steam ahead into the next phase of his dynamic 25 year solo career\, saxophonist Michael Lington captures all the freewheeling magic\, energy and optimism we’re feeling post-pandemic with his latest perfectly titled Billboard single “Play” – a funked out\, fun-spirited\, perfect for summertime jam that marks his first time co-writing and co-producing with longtime friend and fellow horn master and hit maker Darren Rahn. The groove-intensive track also features Paul Jackson Jr.’s blistering guitar fire and the non-stop grooves of bassist Mel Brown and drummer Tarell Martin. While creating a forward minded way to keep joy and hope flowing in turbulent times\, “Play” – from Lington’s upcoming EP and first set of original tunes since 2018’s Silver Lining – also reflects the multi-talented artist’s ever-bustling role as a first time dad to his son Landon and the passion he’s bringing to his latest endeavor\, hosting his own Friday radio show on Smooth Jazz 247. \nHe has released 12 solo albums and has 27 singles that have charted on the Billboard and Radio & Records (R&R) contemporary jazz radio charts. \nOver the course of his career\, Lington has collaborated with Michael Bolton\, Barry Manilow\, Randy Crawford\, Bobby Caldwell\, Kenny Lattimore\, Booker T. Jones\, Ray Parker\, Jr.\, Taylor Dayne\, Brian Culbertson\, William Bell\, Dave Stewart\, Vince Gill and many others. \nHe has toured regularly his entire career\, averaging 60-80 shows per year. In recent years\, Lington joined Michael Bolton on tour as his opening act & special guest. Lington and Bolton performed over 350 shows together in more than 40 countries. \nBarry Manilow invited Lington to join his “One Last Time” arena tour. Michael opened the show and joined Manilow on the song “Brooklyn Blues” during the headliner’s main set. \nIn Nov. 2016\, Lington performed for the Memphis Music Hall Of Fame ceremony\, honoring 2016 inductee Charles Lloyd. Stax Records soul singer William Bell and Snoop Dogg also performed at the induction ceremony. \nIn September 2019 it was announced that Michael would join the Dave Koz and Friends; Gifts Of The Season Christmas tour alongside Koz\, Jonathan Butler\, Melissa Manchester and Chris Walker. The 22-date concert tour traveled across the U.S. between November 29 and December 23\, 2019. \nIn 2020 during the pandemic\, Michael become one of the leading music artists producing hi-quality virtual shows\, which earned him a most innovative artist award by Stageit! \nLington is signed to the The Reliant Talent agency for worldwide representation and has a publishing administration deal with Kobalt Music Publishing. He is an ASCAP songwriter/publisher and a 25-year voting member of the Recording Academy. \nParking: $30.00 advanced purchase | $35.00 day of \nValet: $40.00 advanced purchase | $45.00 day of (if not sold out)
