Michael Bolton

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Michael Bolton and his powerfully soulful voice will get the MSU Riley Center Fall/Winter Series off to a rousing start in downtown Meridian on Aug. 24 at 7:30 p.m. The series will bring to Meridian a dozen performances in music, theater and dance from some of the country’s most exciting artists.

As a special treat, half of the Fall/Winter Series events, including Bolton’s concert, will feature pre-show parties. The parties will start in the Grand Lobby at 6 p.m., an hour and a half before the show itself. Patrons will be able to socialize, enjoy refreshments, and share the happy buzz of excitement as curtain time nears.

His catalog of iconic recordings also includes “Said I Loved You ...But I Lied,” “Time, Love & Tenderness,” “Soul Provider,” “How Can We Be Lovers,” and “When a Man Loves a Woman.”
