With the most recent Dayton-area show announced, summer ‘19 is rounding-out to be full of soul.

Michael McDonald will co-headline a summer show with Chaka Khan at Rose Music Center on Thursday, June 20. Tickets for the Huber Heights show will go on sale to the public beginning at 11 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 8 at www.Ticketmaster.com and www.Rosemusiccenter.com. Tickets can also be purchased by phone at 1-800-745-3000.

The first half of the Rose show duo is the music giant responsible for the hit song, “I’m Every Woman.”

“Chaka Khan is one of the world’s most gifted and celebrated musicians, with a rich musical legacy, the 10-time Grammy Award-winner is looking forward to a celebration of a lifetime,” according to a Rose Music Center press release.  “A songwriter, actor, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and activist, Chaka Khan has influenced generations of recording artists. She has the rare ability to sing in seven music genres, including R&B, pop, rock, gospel, country, world music and classical.”

According to Spotify, McDonald, with his husky soulful baritone, became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/ rock scene of the late ‘70s. His hits, both as a solo artist and as a member of the Doobie Brothers, include “What a Fool Believes,” “I Keep Forgettin’” and “Minute by Minute.”

McDonald’s most recent full-length album of new material, Wide Open, continues to receive extensive critical praise from the Los Angeles Times, NPR Music, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and many more, according to a Rose Music Center press release.

Tickets will start as low as $39.
