Since 2017, Omaha-based R&B/Soul band Enjoli & Timeless has performed every year on Black Friday to honor their time together as a group and collectively reminisce to the sounds of their favorite R&B and Soul classics. Over the years, the dynamics of this live ensemble has evolved, but in the band's beginnings there were many voices that were a part of the Timeless collective. Sponsored by Omaha Performing Arts, this year's concert in the Holland Music Club will feature all the vocalists of the past and several artists of the present. Join us for this one-of-a-kind performance from some of Omaha's finest artists in your finest black attire.

Humbly labeled by her fans as "The Voice of the Streets, Enjoli and her sultry vocals quickly rose to recognition after the release of her debut album called “Set The Mood” in 2013. After releasing her hit single “Thinking,” in 2017 Enjoli formed her R&B/Soul band, Timeless.

Enjoli & Timeless has performed on numerous stages with artists like Pleasure P, Juvenile, Angela Winebush and toured with the legendary rap artist, Twista. During the 2020 Presidential Election, Enjoli & Timeless had the prestigious honor of performing live at the Biden Harris Campaign for the historic District 2 of Nebraska. They were the inaugural featured artists in the 2021 and 2022 Omaha Performing Arts Miller Park Concert Series and the recipients of the 2022 Omaha Entertainment Art Awards for Outstanding R&B
