the keys so fine he’s known as “Coffee”. Gary Messenger punctuates with his percussion and
harp while American Idol Tour drummer Cedric Hardin and bassist Ken Smith maintain the
heartbeat so the Soul shines through.  Their mission is to entertain you and they make that happen.

Stanley Baird joins the entertainment lineup as a guest performer. He is an acclaimed jazz
musician, composer and entertainer. He’s played the sax with such greats as Stevie Wonder,
the Temptations and many, many others. He’ll be joining the Mighty Messengers of Soul in both
a jazz set during dinner and more songs as the evening progresses.

Also making a guest appearance is Durham native, Constance Prince who performed for many
years in various venues from gospel music to the Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival. She’s now
claiming her rightful place as Durham’s Lady of Soul, bringing audiences to their feet when she
sings.

DJ Heavy will keep the music playing, making sure this New Year’s Eve crowd has no break in
