Happenings at Central Square

Get ready for a soul-filled evening this Saturday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. Legendary vocalists, Bruce Henry and Gwen Matthews, team up to present and celebrate The Legends of Soul. For this show, they welcome special guest, Kathleen Johnson, to join them as they perform songs made famous by artists like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Beyoncé, BB King, Prince and more.
