On March 17, the Shelby County Arts Council welcomes back to the stage the legendary Elnora Spencer.

This Birmingham native has spent many years making a name for herself. Her talent and vocal power has earned her many awards and accomplishments.

Over the years she has performed with music legends such as B.B. King, Percy Sledge, Millie Jackson and Bobby Womack.

She once again joins us for an evening of blues and R&B along with her band of seasoned musicians.

Her music will make you feel reminiscent of an evening at the legendary Cotton Club.

The Elnora Spencer Band will perform on March 17 at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.).

Tickets are $20 and include a complimentary pre-show beverage reception.
