Ocean City, MD – (December 5, 2017): For the second year, Mayor Rick Meehan and members of the Ocean City Council will treat residents and visitors to a free concert at the breathtaking Performing Arts Center. After a brief meet and greet with Ocean City elected officials and participating community partners, the 2018 New Yearโs Day Concert will feature performances by Bryan Russo and Nadjah Nicole from NBCโs Emmy Award winning TV show The Voice.
โFor 20 years, the Mayorโs Open House offered the opportunity for our citizens to meet with elected officials that serve our community,” commented Mayor Rick Meehan. โThat tradition has evolved in a way that continues that custom, but also allows us to highlight our beautiful Performing Arts Center by providing residents with an opportunity to enjoy this amazing venue for free.โ
This yearโs concert features Delaware native, Nicole, from NBCโs Emmy Award winning TV show The Voice. She was recently introduced to 10 million viewers during her 10 week run on The Voice. She is a talented singer and songwriter who has amassed an impressive resume. Nicole has a soothing, soulful and melodic vocal style that compliments her soulful-pop music.
โNadjah exudes positivity and an almost effortless elegance that I noticed the first time we played a small club together, and it was truly exciting to watch millions of people experience that during her run on Team Blake on the Voice,โ commented singer, songwriter Bryan Russo, who will also perform at the New Yearโs Day event. โIf you are looking for soul music with a pop twist, with the sounds of Erykah Badu, Esperanza Spalding, Corrine Bailey Rae, Jill Scott, Beyonce, then you wonโt want to miss this show.โ
