Since the late 1990s, neo-soul has reached a wide number of audiences in the world, blending elements from various music genres, including funk, jazz, R&B and soul. And now you can enjoy some of the genre’s most famous songs the Candlelight way. Hear SZA’s “Good Days”, Sade’s “Smooth Operator”, Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor”, and many many more songs!
Candlelight: A Tribute to Coldplay
For pop rock fans out there, there is another tribute all about one of the most successful bands of the last decades, Coldplay. They have been topping charts since the release of their first album Parachutes, with songs like “Yellow” and “Trouble”. And 24 years later, they continue to dominate the scene, selling out stadiums and arenas with their other-worldly shows.
So it seems as a no brainer that they should receive a candlelit tribute at one of the top venues in the city. Located in the University of Portland, the charming Buckley Center Auditorium will open its doors classical renditions of Coldplay’s greatest hits, such as “Speed of Sound”, “A Sky Full of Stars” and “Something Just Like This”.
