Tulsa’s own Charlie Wilson returns to Oklahoma City March 17th at 7 pm. Wilsons “In It to Win It” tour has been getting incredible ratings across the country.
Wilson stated “I am excited about being on the road with my friends Grammy award winner Fantasia and four-time Grammy award nominee Johnny Gill,” Wilson announced in a press release. “As usual, folks should come prepared for a party.
“I am excited about my new single, ‘I’m Blessed,’ because it says exactly where I am in my life, blessed to still be making music that people want to hear” states Charlie Wilson. “2016 has been a tough year for so many people around the world and I am proud to release a song that reminds us that we can all find some blessings in our lives. Having T.I. add his flavor to the song and share who he is and how his journey is filled with blessings is an added bonus.”
In 2015 Wilson completed a critically-acclaimed, sold-out arena tour, Forever Charlie, which was the top winter tour of 2015. “Charlie Wilson leads the pack of touring artists on the weekly Hot Tours roundup reported from his winter trek in support of the album, Forever Charlie, released in January.” (Billboard, March 19, 2015.)
Also, joining Wilson on their first national U.S. tour is P Music Group’s pop music duo, Solero who have over 8 million views on their YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/SoleroTV. Their first single “Green Light” from their debut EP is scheduled for release in early 2017. Check them out at www.solerobrothers.com.
“2017 is going to be an epic year for Charlie Wilson. In addition to his upcoming arena tour, we have a great new album that includes some of today’s top musical artists,” stated Michael Paran, Wilson’s manager and CEO of P Music Group. “The new album represents some of the best music Charlie has recorded in his career thus far. He has a very diverse fan base and there is something on this album for everyone.”
“I’ve been in this game for many years,” reflects the Gap Band co-founder and solo star. “I’ve had some big hit records and sold a lot of records. But I need to still show people that I’m in it. It’s championship time.”
