BOSTON: BABY BOY ROBINSON - CD RELEASE - THE MIC IS ON
Baby Boy Robinson will celebrate the release of his new CD 'The Mike is On" at SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111) on Tuesday, May 6th at 8:00 pm. Robinson gives his audiences an awesome and new take on an old style of great music. With a heavy soul voice, Baby Boy Robinson's smooth vocals deliver R&B at it's finest. Recently, he became a featured singer on the Classic Soul Tour at the Strand Theater in Boston, alongside legends such as BlueMagic, Ray Goodman & Brown and Heatwave. 'Baby Boy' is no gimmick. At birth his parents simply did not sign a name on the birth certificate and on it to date is the name, Baby Boy Robinson. He is founder of both Jesus Power Ministries and the No More Murder campaign. These are both service providers connecting to and providing for what is considered to be the gang population. The first of its kind that help catapult what was known as the Boston miracle - a period where crime and murder dipped at an all-time low. Some say Baby Boy•s relationships go from the crack house to the White House and beyond. Dinner/Show: $60 Show only: $20.
