Doors 8 / Show 9 / All Ages • All ages welcome • Vinyl is a general admission, standing room venue • $25 VIP ticket includes early access to Mateo's sound check Join TNE and The Different Group on Thursday, May 3rd at Vinyl in Center Stage for Mateo & Friends R&B Showcase. The show features performances by Mateo, Untitled, Kelechi of Jet5et and Siergio Larry. Interscope's newest signee, Mateo is giving R&B music a facelift by altering the sound and image behind the genre. This young artist/musician has built a strong legion of fans with such records as "Say Its So", "Get To Know Me", "Complicated" and "Don't Shoot Me Down". He's worked with the likes of Alicia Keys, Pusha T, Melody Thornton, and Swiss Beatz. With Grammy Award Winning Producer Krucial's at the helm of his project and praise from some of the music industry's greats, Mateo is set to become the next major force in R&B. Mateo has shared the stage with Miguel, Melanie Fiona, Erykah Badu, Dawn from Dirty Money and more. This spring, Mateo kicked off his own tour producing shows throughout the East Coast. For his last tour stop, Atlanta, Mateo is bringing some friends along to perform. DTP's R&B Group, Untitled, brings catchy tunes and sex appeal that keeps their fans entranced and hooked to their sound. Their music appeals to several genres as each group member draws something different from music and brings it together for a tight concise unit. Recent accomplishments for the group include a performance on 106&Park and a tour with Ludacris, which ends right before they join Mateo and Friends R&B Showcase at Vinyl to continue to reach their fans. Kelechi has been a musician and an entertainer since a very young age, but recently relocated from New York City to Los Angeles to take his singing career by the horns. His unpredictable funky R&B vocals, soulful crooning, and pop sound are his calling cards. He, along with four other band members, formed the POP/R&B Band JET5ET and they are quickly gaining Hollywood recognition. With his recent feature in FOX NETWORKS' What's HOT in Music! publication, Kelechi is finally seeing his dreams come true. Kelechi is excited to share the stage at the Mateo and Friends R&B Showcase at Vinyl. Siergio Larry blends soul, funk, and R&B to produce his unique spin on music. The Chicago born singer who now resides in Atlanta is shaking up the R&B World. Before joining the U Rock Tour featuring T.I., Jill Scott, and Wale that kicks off this spring, Siergio will join Mateo and Friends R&B Showcase at Vinyl to continue to promote his latest EP, The Night Before. TNE and The Different Group is looking forward to producing a quality show for the fans of the artist, our supporters, and tastemakers who want to see who's next on the R&B scene. Doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm. Tickets can now be purchased in advanced at Center Stage Box Office (1374 West Peachtree Street) or online at www.ticketalternative.com. $15/GA, $25/VIP
