Mandyl Evans Features the Songs of Teddy Pendergrass, with guest Robyn Springer

A Middle C Jazz favorite, Charlotte-based vocalist Mandyl Evans returns to the stage for a soulful celebration of the legendary Teddy Pendergrass. Featuring special guest vocalist Robyn Springer, this high-energy, romantic tribute delivers the lush horn lines, deep-pocket Philly soul grooves, and iconic bedroom ballads—from “Love T.K.O.” to “Close the Door”—that defined an era of sophisticated R&B. As the definitive voice of late-1970s romance, Pendergrass reshaped modern soul music with his raw, masculine vocal power and historic run of consecutive multi-platinum albums, creating a timeless blueprint for contemporary R&B showmanship.
The evening will also feature a special musical tribute to Peabo Bryson, globally revered as the “Pavarotti of Soul.”
