This evening introduced for the first time the new line up of Jeff Sanders, Clinton "Buddy" Wike and the sensational lead singer Antwuan “Tao Soprano” Simpson - you may remember him as part of the legendary group Dru Hill.

Gemz interviewed the group inviting them to share some untold secrets, as well as clarifying rummors that had been circulated for years. It was great to get into the personalities behind the group.
​
The group performed their greatest hits 'Come inside, Let me be, Ribbon in the Sky, Feels like the first time plus many more... Their live vocals were totally on point and delivered in a way that each member of the audience felt as if they were personally singing to them.
