Will Downing @ bergenPAC June 19th- 8PM June 19, 2009

Will Downing
Fri., Jun. 19 - 8:00 PM
WILL DOWNING is known for having one of the smoothest voices in R&B and music and he is returning to the Bergen Pac to perform his great classics along with his latest songs off his new CD.

See the revered Will Downing live at bergenPAC on Friday June 19th at 8pm as he celebrates the release of his new CD entitled Classique. Downing will perform his hit songs as well as songs from Classique at the Englewood venue.

Taking his inspiration from the French term Classique – an author, artist or work of art, of the highest excellence – Will Downing returns with his 14th collection of sensual grooves and true love primers. ‘Classique’ is his second album for Peak Records (in stores June 16 via the Concord Music Group) and a triumphant encore presentation following the challenges he faced creating his Peak debut, ‘After Tonight’ (recorded while battling the muscle disorder Polymyositis). Back in top form, Downing’s sensitive touch is felt throughout the project - singing, writing, arranging and producing, the latter mostly in collaboration with his dear friend and much-in-demand ace Rex Rideout.

‘Classique’ is quintessential Will Downing from start to finish…a quiet but emphatic statement on the strength and confidence this Brooklyn native has garnered as he celebrates his 20th anniversary as “The Prince of Sophisticated Soul” – a career in which the man and his artistry have been recognized for excellence from NARAS (Grammys) to the NAACP.
