A Tribute to D'Angelo featuring Asheville's Finest Players
Join us for a night in tribute to the one and only D'Angelo. We've assembled some of Asheville's finest players for an 8-piece blowout to honor the legend who passed on October 14 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Michael Eugene Archer (February 11, 1974 – October 14, 2025), better known by his stage name D'Angelo, was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. Widely regarded as a pioneer of the neo-soul movement, Billboard named him one of the greatest RB artists, while Rolling Stone magazine ranked him as one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. In 2025, he was inducted into the National Rhythm Blues Hall of Fame.He first gained attention after co-writing and co-producing the 1994 single "U Will Know" by the RB supergroup Black Men United. His debut album, Brown Sugar (1995), was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and received widespread acclaim from music critics, who have credited the album with ushering in the neo-soul movement. It featured the title track, the Smokey Robinson cover "Cruisin", and "Lady", which peaked within the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100.D'Angelo then collaborated with artists such as Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, and Lauryn Hill, with whom he performed on the 1998 song "Nothing Even Matters" from her album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. His next album, Voodoo (2000), debuted at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and received widespread critical acclaim. It was also certified platinum by RIAA. Its third single "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" was released alongside an impactful music video. The song earned him the Grammy Award for Best Male RB Vocal Performance, while the album itself won Best RB Album. Voodoo was listed as 28th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.Afterwards, D'Angelo became increasingly uncomfortable with his growing status as a sex symbol. He then had numerous personal struggles, including depression, drug addiction and alcoholism, which resulted in limited musical output for several years. After over a decade spent mostly out of the public eye, he released his third and final album, Black Messiah (2014). The album debuted in the top five of the U.S. Billboard 200 and topped the year-end Pazz Jop critics' poll by The Village Voice. It won Best RB Album at the 58th Grammy Awards, while the single "Really Love" won Best RB Song and was nominated for Record of the Year. He also contributed the song "Unshaken" to the 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption 2. During the production of a fourth album, he died in 2025 of pancreatic cancer.
