Summer Concerts on the Hudson will present a one-night-only Soul and R&B concert with up and coming songstress Ayo Awosika and her ten piece band on Wednesday, July 8 at 7 p.m.
A favorite of the downtown music scene, Ayo is developing a reputation as one of today’s best Soul and R&B singers. Her musical training includes classical and jazz, which gives her a deep foundation to explore diverse musical worlds.
Born to a Nigerian father and American mother, she grew up in a household filled with music, from the likes of Fela Kuti and Michael Jackson to Billie Holiday and Madonna. These varied influences continue to be important in Ayo’s musical evolution, as she weaves all of the sounds that she loves into her own artistry.
At Lincoln Harbor Park, located directly on the Hudson River in Weehawken, free parking is available and public transportation, including NJ Transit bus and light rail, will bring concertgoers to Lincoln Harbor.
