Things to do in and around Atlanta this weekend
Bilal in concert
Bilal, the Philadelphia-born singer-songwriter, musician and producer, will perform at City Winery Atlanta on Jan. 5-6.
The award-winning performer is known for his creative neo-soul, jazz and R&B sound.
Bilal is classically trained and able to sing opera in seven languages. His interest in jazz was fostered by his father, who took him to the city’s clubs. He attended New York’s New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, where he received voice training, as well as training in jazz and big-band arrangements.
Bilal’s debut album, “1st Born Second” featured collaborations with Mike City, Robert Glasper, and many of the Soulquarians and reached the Top Ten of Billboard’s R&B albums chart. Both shows are sold out, but Bilal fans can add their names to a waiting list.
8 p.m. Jan. 5 and Jan. 6. $30-$40. City Winery Atlanta, Ponce City Market, 650 North Ave., Atlanta. 404-946-3791, citywinery.com/atlanta.
