Columbia State Community College welcomes Wendy Moten to the Cherry Theater on November 14 as part of the First Farmers Performance Series.

Moten's powerful voice and presence was nurtured growing up in Memphis, Tennessee. She gained prominence with major-label solo records, international hits and working alongside the music industry's top talent. Her performance on Season 21 of The Voice gained Moten millions of new fans and allowed her to showcase the numerous genres that she can effortlessly explore, from R&B and pop to country and jazz. As an artist who has learned different languages, cultures, histories and music while traveling the world, she is a bridge builder who unites people of all backgrounds and races.

“Join us for an unforgettable evening of R&B with Wendy Moten in Columbia's own Cherry Theater, where soulful melodies and exceptional artistry come together for a night of musical excellence,” said Tammy Rosson, Columbia State director of events and alumni relations. “Enjoy the convenience of free parking and a complimentary art exhibition in the Pryor Art Gallery before the performance. With tickets priced at just $35, all fees included, there's no need to venture to Nashville—we're bringing world-class talent right to your doorstep!”

Tickets for each performance are priced at $35 and include all fees. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit ColumbiaState.edu/PerformanceSeries. Individuals may also contact the Performance Series ticket line at 931.540.2879, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
