A Night to Remember
“This is the perfect venue to experience the magic of Jonathan Butler,” remarked a resident of Addisleigh Park, capturing the excitement surrounding this event. Billed as a Pre-Thanksgiving Concert, this show marks the second production and first concert of Black Spectrum’s 2024-2025 season, following the season’s acclaimed opening production, Black Spurs.
Jonathan Butler, the South African music legend, made history as the first non-white artist to be featured on South African radio and national television. His illustrious career includes multiple Top 10 Billboard hits, such as his Grammy-nominated singles “Lies” and “Sarah, Sarah”, as well as fan favorite “More Than Friends.”
