“We’re thrilled with this association with MPMF17 and to have Charles Bradley, a dynamic and riveting performer, as part of the inaugural season of the Longworth-Anderson Series. His classic R&B/Soul style expands upon the diverse music genres that are a hallmark of the Longworth-Anderson Series,” says Bill Baumann, Chairman of The Memorial Hall Society.

Charles Bradley has made a name for himself as a riveting live performer and was named to the top spot on Paste Magazine’s Best Live Acts of 2015. He has taken his show to venues and festivals across the globe including Coachella, Glastonbury Festival and Primavera Sound. The Brooklyn-based 68-year old released his third album Changes in 2016 via Daptone Records, which was included in numerous “best of” lists, including MOJO, Paste and Rough Trade. Bradley returned recently to the stage after successfully completing treatment for stomach cancer. His 2017 performance at Governors Ball was called one of the “10 best sets” by the New York Times.The remarkable against-all-odds rise of Charles Bradley since the release of his 2011 debut album No Time For Dreaming has been well documented. He transcended a bleak life on the streets and struggled through a series of ill-fitting jobs before finally being discovered by Daptone’s Gabriel Roth. The year following the release of No Time For Dreaming was one triumph after another including a breakthrough performance at SXSW, several television performances and having the album named to many year end “best of” lists. The soul singer’s ascent continued with the 2013 release of his triumphant second album Victim of Love, which saw Bradley emerging from his past heartaches stronger and more confident, overflowing with love to share.
