Season two American Idol winner, Ruben Studdard, is bringing his big and powerful voice to Dayton.

The evening is set to be a tribute to Grammy Award- winning, R&B singer and songwriter, Luther Vandross.

"My goal was to not only to pay tribute to Luther, but to add my own passion on top of Luther's brilliant songs," said Studdard on his website RubenStuddard.com. "As for the tour, we are not only recreating some of the production elements, musicians, background singers, wardrobe and lighting that were ever present when Luther took the stage, but my heart and soul will be in every note I sing as I honor one of the greatest vocalists we've ever had."
