The Mother’s Day R&B Love Fest will be like no other with mind-blowing performances by legendary and contemporary artists. “To be able to do this with Charlie Wilson, KEM and Dru Hill - the entire line-up of talented artists, we are truly excited,” the Jammins Events Management Team said.

Charlie Wilson, aka “Uncle Charlie”, a musical powerhouse, will grace the main stage as the headlining act. His vocal prowess began as a founding member and lead singer of the legendary GAP Band. As a solo artist Wilson has topped the R&B charts with 13 number one singles, sold-out concerts, 13 GRAMMY® nominations, a New York Times and Washington Post best-selling memoir, “I Am Charlie Wilson,” a BET Lifetime Achievement Award and a Soul Train Icon Award.  He was also honored with a star on the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022 and will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2024. 

Similarly, internationally renowned R&B singer/songwriter KEM has one Platinum-selling album (KEM: ALBUM II); two Gold-selling albums (KEMISTRY; INTIMACY); three GRAMMY nominations; five #1 hit singles (“Love Calls,” “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Why Would You Stay,” “It’s You” and “Nobody”), along with several sold-out national tours and international shows.  His smooth vocal style earned him his first hit “Love Calls” which jetted to #1 on Urban Adult Contemporary charts and continues to be played on R&B radio stations to this day as an undisputed classic. 

R&B group Dru Hill will also take to the stage with its members "Sisqó", "Jazz", “Nokio", "Black", "Tao", "Scola" and “Smoke” showcasing their strong and mesmerizing musical talents.  Founded in 1992 as “14K Harmony,” the group evolved to become Dru Hill in 1996 cementing itself into hall of R&B music through a series of No. 1 R&B hits including "In My Bed," "Never Make a Promise," and "How Deep Is Your Love.”  Dru Hill has received multiple awards and performed internationally and has topped the Billboard Music charts multiple times.
