On Friday September 20th at 8:00 and 10:30PM, the Inter-Media Art Center in Huntington, Long
Island, will host a concert featuring jazz, soul and R&B vocalist Oleta Adams.

Oleta Adams was inspired as a child by the music of Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. The youngest of three girls and two boys, she spent her formative years in Seattle before traveling over the mountains at age six to Yakima, Washington, an idyllic town of 60,000 with a black population of less than 600. There she revealed her budding vocal gifts in Pilgrim Baptist Church where her father served as minister.

Her debut album, Circle of One, was a runaway success featuring her impassioned hit “Get Here”---the Brenda Russell composition that became an unofficial anthem of the 1991 Gulf War. Her second album, Evolution received equally exuberant kudos and sent Oleta on the road with soul master Luther Vandross. Since then, Oleta has received lots of radio play on NY area jazz and soul radio stations. But…her live performance is absolutely inspiring and IMAC is very proud to present Oleta Adams on our stage.

Tickets for this performance are $30.00 ($22.50 for IMAC Members). For tickets to this performance, or for other IMAC programs, call IMAC's 24-hour Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS.
