The duo will be performing a diverse array of sounds, including R&B, jazz and gospel. Butler is well-known for his playful, yet passionate, performances, and Albright has performed R&B and urban jazz concerts at numerous locales throughout the years  

Butler, born and raised in South Africa, became the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television. His self-titled debut album, released in 1987, featured the Grammy-nominated hit “Lies.” Other well-known songs include “Going Home,” which earned him another Grammy nomination, and “Sarah, Sarah.”

As a session and touring musician, he has worked with artists such as Anita Baker, The Temptations, Phil Collins and Whitney Houston.
