Event Details
The Legendary Soul Jam brought The New Stylistics with Russell Tompkins Jr.; the Manhattans and Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes together for a lively soul review concert at the 3,000-capacity Akron Civic Theatre. The venue, originally built in 1929 by Marcus Loew and designed by theater architect John Eberson, was fashioned after a Moorish castle featuring Mediterranean decor, including medieval carvings, authentic European antiques and Italian alabaster sculptures. The Civic is one of only five remaining atmospheric theaters in the country where patrons experience a twinkling star-lit sky and intermittent clouds moving across the horizon, all while sitting inside the auditorium.
