The Empress of Soul brings her silky contralto voice back to the Bay Area for one night. Considering the seven-time Grammy winner’s extensive repertoire of standards and original material, a fantastic show is assured. Fans can expect to hear classics, like her 1973 No. 1 hit, “Midnight Train to Georgia,” as well as newer material, like her bouncy, horn-driven dance track, “Just a Little,” which she released in 2015. This will be one of the last stops in California for Knight as she continues her string of 2017 shows.
