Eric Roberson at the Blue Note

Blue Note presents Eric Roberson: The 30th Anniversary Tour on Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27, at 6:30 and 9 p.m. As a Grammy award-nominee, singer, songwriter, producer, professor and Howard University alum, Eric Roberson continues to break boundaries as an independent artist in an industry dominated by major labels, manufactured sounds and mainstream radio. Described as the original pioneer of the independent movement in R&B/soul music, Roberson has achieved major milestones in his career, from being a successful songwriter to headlining sold-out tours across the country.
