Charles Bradley, brings his Extraordinaires to Headliners on April 24. Having done a stint as a James Brown impersonator in the Nineties, Bradley learned all the necessary chops to be a serious funk/R&B singer. He was discovered by a co-founder of Dap Records, who signed him following a session with his future producer Tom Brenneck, during which he asked Brenneck's band to play while he made up lyrics on the spot. Following the release of a string of singles from 2002 to 2010, his debut album, No Time For Dreaming, was released in 2011, his second, Victim Of Love, dropped in 2013. He's been through town a couple of times before, so there should be some fans. If his style still isn't clear to you, watch the video below. Tickets to the show are $18 adv/ $20 DoS.
