Anthony says:Sending a huge thank you to Vet Tix and Live Nstion for donating tickets to Uncle Charlie's R & B Cookout. One of the best musical experiences I’ve ever had. I have attended this concert multiple times and each time has been better than the last. My favorite part of the show has been when Babyface takes us on a journey of exploring songs that he wrote for other artists. I can’t believe how many great songs he is responsible for. Thank you!
