Soul Revival - Featuring Syesha Mercado & Alex Harris

For one night only, Soul Revival puts the records that raised us back where they belong — on a stage, with a live band, sung by voices built to carry them. Syesha Mercado, a top-three American Idol finalist who opened the Dreamgirls national tour at the Apollo, comes home to Sarasota with songs by Aretha, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston. Alex Harris, who has shared stages with Lionel Richie, John Legend, Alicia Keys and Al Green, brings Sam Cooke, James Brown, Otis Redding and Green himself. Special guests join the bill — you don't want to miss. Doors open at 6:30, the band counts it off at 7:00, and admission is free. The room only holds so many, so reserve your seat.
