James D-Train Williams is an American singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, producer and actor. He rose to fame in the early 1980s with the release of his first album “You're the One for Me” (working with songwriter/producer Hubert Eaves III initially as a duo), which spawned his first US Billboard Dance chart number-one hit, "You're the One for Me". His debut album (under the Prelude Records label) would also chart with the hits "Keep On" and the much covered Burt Bacharach hit "Walk on By". He would go on to work with Eaves producing hits on the follow-up albums Music and Something's On Your Mind before being signed to Columbia Records, producing the albums Miracles of the Heart and In Your Eyes.
On Friday January 31, we belatedly celebrate D Train’s birthday as he performs his hits from when R&B was soulful, real, and did not need autotune. DJ Kev-Ski warms the crowd with all of your favorite R&B songs before the show and between our special guest performances.
Spoken word poet Alexander The Griot hosts the evening and serves as MC.
Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 8pm.
Sugar Bar has a great menu featuring Soul and Caribbean foods with Brian the mixologist behind the bar crafting all of your favorite mixed drinks.
Join us for an evening of R&B, celebrating good people on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
