About this Event

BANNED & UNPLUGGED R&B NIGHT (Penitentiary Chances Live Book Experience)

Get ready for an unforgettable night with author Jeffrey McCray as he shares his powerful memoir Penitentiary Chances live! This isn’t just a book signing—it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. The evening will be filled with smooth, soulful R&B classics, bringing you back to the golden era of music. McCray will take the stage, giving you a glimpse into his journey while the music flows effortlessly, creating a vibe that’s nothing short of magical.

Whether you’re a fan of his writing or just love good music, this is the perfect night to kick back, soak in the energy, and let the tunes take you to a place of nostalgia. McCray will also be signing copies of his memoir, but the night is all about connecting with great people, enjoying authentic sounds, and celebrating his story in a relaxed, intimate setting.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind cultural experience where every note resonates deep, and the atmosphere is as smooth as the music. Don’t wait to hear about it—beat us there and make memories you’ll never forget!
