That Motown Band has built a strong reputation with performances at notable venues across the East Coast, including New York City’s The Bitter End and Philadelphia’s Center City. Their Maryland appearance is expected to draw fans from across the region. Fleming, a former member of The Delfonics and celebrated for his 1981 solo hit “Please Don’t Send Me Away,” adds star power to the lineup. His vocal style draws comparisons to soul greats David Ruffin and Bobby Womack, offering an authentic Motown experience.

Backing the vocalists is a seasoned group of musicians led by Grammy-nominated musical director Johnny Gale, whose work spans live performance, studio production, and music direction for major television and film projects such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Irishman. Gale’s deep knowledge of soul and doo wop informs the band’s arrangements, helping maintain the integrity of the original Motown sound.
