Lively R&B band promises to entertain
|
?We are a show band,? said J.T. Northcutt. ?We dance. We love music and it shows. We will have something for everyone and everyone will have fun. I guarantee it.?
The Utopia band specializes in classic R&B dance music, modern hits, selected oldies, jazz and blues standards delivered with a distinctive, dynamic sound. Their sound has made Utopia one of the premier, most in-demand bands in the southern United States, according to band members. They have been featured as the primary act at musical festivals and Middle Tennessee area concerts.
?We have been truly blessed,? said Northcutt. ?All our musicians are professional musicians. They went to school or toured with major groups. We have a lot of experience in the band.?
This will also be a homecoming for Northcutt as he and his wife are originally from McMinnville, ?I?m looking forward to it. I hope to see people I haven?t seen in years.?
The Utopia creed: ?What we project is more than sound. What you will hear is more than music. It is the expression of what our hearts and souls conceal. What we present is more than a show. The gift we give is the endowment of your spirit. We saturate your mind, and leave you high on the Utopia syndrome.?
Sticking with the liveliness of the evening, Utopia will be partnering with Young Men United. Opening for the band will be the African Dance Company and Crunk Stompers from Warren County High School. There will be a table set up with literature about Young Men United.
Utopia will begin entertaining at 7 p.m. on the West Lawn of Security Federal. Food and beverage vendors are open at 6 p.m.
The event is free and sponsored by River Park Hospital, Dr Pepper, the Law Offices of Galligan and Newman, Ben Lomand TV, Clear Channel Radio and the Southern Standard, your source for local news.
