Headliner: Marcus Anderson
The Spartanburg, SC native has charted at number 1 in both Billboard’s Smooth Jazz category and Sirius XM’s Watercolors with numerous hits.

Prince also featured Marcus on his last release Hit N Run Phase 2, playing on “Revelation” and “Look at Me Look at You”.
Anderson is an act that puts on a show for and with household names. Whether he is performing for dignitaries such as President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson and Hillary Clinton or blazing the stage with Sheila E., Anthony Hamilton or Miguel in a collaborative effort, Anderson is always the man of the hour, delivering stellar musicianship every time.
