Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to express how you feel about someone.
That’s where song lyrics come in.
Even if you didn’t secure tickets to either of singer Bryson Tiller’s sold-out Center Stage shows, there are still a few options for concerts that you can enjoy with your sweetheart (or friends) this weekend.
Dru Hill and Avant
Enjoy some R&B from the 1990s and early 2000s when Dru Hill and Avant visit the Fox Theatre on Feb. 12.
Dru Hill is known for ‘90s hits such as “In My Bed” and “Never Make a Promise.”
Avant is known for songs such as “My First Love” and “You & I,” both of which feature “R&B Divas: Atlanta” star Keke Wyatt. He released his eighth studio album “The VIII” in 2015.
