The trio, along with a seven-piece band, perform freshly minted songs from the album Silhouette along with classic singles, including "The Way You Do the Things You Do" and "Higher Ground." Fans also can expect to hear UB40's cover versions of songs by musical greats, such as Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Chi-Lites.
