Vocalists Vic Frierson, Karen Linette, Gene McBride, Deborah Poole-Williams and Todd Googins - each phenomenal in their own right--come together with exquisite harmonies to recreate classics and develop new musical arrangements. Since 2014, Motown & More has become a popular production in the Baltimore/Washington/Virginia region annually selling out shows at Rams Head on Stage, Bethesda Theatre, the Gordon Center for the Performing Arts and traveling around the east coast as far as Raleigh, NC and Fryeburg, ME lending credence to the idea that Motown is the music of our time, for all audiences.
