The George Benson Celebration
Jazz great George Benson returns to Encore Theater for two nights with The George Benson Celebration on April 25-26, 2025.
Maxwell has artfully managed to transfix music lovers for more than two decades, releasing five studio albums, all in his own time and all quickly becoming classics. His critically acclaimed “The Night Tour” topped Pollstar’s 2022 list of Top 20 Global Concert Tours. Now Maxwell’s 2023 outing, regarded as one of the most-anticipated R&B events of the year, and featuring a trio of shows at Encore Theater, caps off the journey he first embarked upon over a decade ago.
The soul singer redefined soul music in April 1996 when he released his critically acclaimed debut Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite. It earned GRAMMY nominations, double-platinum status and RIAA gold for the single, "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)." The platinum albums Embrya (1998) and Now (2001) followed. After eight years, 2009's BLACKsummers'night debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won two GRAMMY awards, including Best R&B Album. To date, Maxwell has achieved four platinum album certifications from the RIAA. His last album blackSUMMERS’night, the second installment of his musical trilogy, earned Maxwell his third GRAMMY (Best R&B Song for “Lake By The Ocean”) an NAACP Image Award (Outstanding Male Artist) and a Soul Train Award (Best R&B/Soul Male Artist).
