Harris-Stowe Partners with Pea-Stain Productions to Host Concert
Alumnus David Peaston's musical legacy lives on; proceeds to benefit
HSSU music student
ST. LOUIS, MO (October 16, 2013) - Harris-Stowe State University's Don
and Heide Wolff Jazz Institute, in collaboration with Pea-Stain
Productions, presents the 7th annual Distinguished Gents concert on
November 9, 2013, at the HSSU Emerson Performing Arts Center, at 2 pm.
The theme for this year's event is "The Journey Home," and celebrates
the late David Peaston's as an alumnus of Harris-Stowe State University.
The evening performance will feature jazz, blues, gospel, classical,
R&B, dance and a student ensemble from HSSU. To commemorate Peaston's
contribution to the music industry and for his years of community
service, Pea-Stain productions will present the "David Peaston
Scholarship for the Arts" to an HSSU student the night of the concert.
The performance is a collection of songs that highlights the exquisite
vocals of four male artists: Jermaine Smith, Leslie Johnson, Damon
DaBarge and Austin Layne, with special guest Jan Strickland. These
vocalists focus on exploring the many facets within the world of men and
how they manage to successfully cope with the complexities of life.
David Peaston, who was a native of St. Louis, was an R&B and gospel
singer who won a Soul Train Music Award in 1990. He was mostly known for
the singles, "Two Wrongs Don't Make it Right" and "Can I?"
Tickets for the event are $25 and will be available at Harris-Stowe
State University, Transformation Christian Bookstore, 4071 Page, and the
Pea-Stain Production website at www.peastainproduction.org
