About this Event
A Night of Soul: Celebrating Cliff Porter & Songs in the Key of Life
Join us this September at the iconic Hawkins Amphitheater in Reno for an unforgettable evening of music, celebration, and legacy.
This special concert marks a landmark occasion: the 50th birthday of Reno's own Cliff Porter. To honor this milestone, we are presenting a one-of-a-kind tribute to one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time: Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life.
The Significance
The connection between the guest of honor and the music is truly serendipitous—Songs in the Key of Life was released on September 28, 1976, the very same day Cliff Porter was born. This concert is a dual celebration of a life well-lived and a monumental album that has shaped the landscape of soul, R&B, and pop music for five decades.
The Performance
We have curated a special, hand-picked ensemble of world-class musicians specifically for this tribute. This masterfully assembled band will bring the rich, complex arrangements of Wonder’s classic album to life with passion, precision, and soul. From the horn lines of "Sir Duke" to the heartfelt sincerity of "Isn't She Lovely," every note will be played with the reverence and energy that this legendary work deserves.
