This month, Rodney Shelton & Eric Brice celebrate party night with the icons who defined a generation, featuring vocalist Alex Austin. 
 
Charlotte’s own Alex Austin, brings to life the timeless hits of Alicia Keys, Brandy, Monica, and Aaliyah. From the velvet harmonies of the 90s to the chart-topping anthems of the early 2000s, this is a night of pure nostalgia and soul.
 
RODNEY SHELTON
Rodney “Keys” Shelton is the quiet storm in the music industry.  In the early 1990s after meeting legendary music promoter/manager Howard Rosen, legendary producer Stewart Levine and Jolie Jones (daughter of Quincy Jones), Rodney’s band “Curio” signed a deal with Motown records.  While signed to Motown, Rodney met R&B singer Keith Washington and, along with Marsha Jenkins, wrote the platinum record “Kissing You”, which after 20 years is still rocking the airwaves.
 
ALEX AUSTIN

Alex Austin is a soulful R&B artist known for her smooth vocals, emotional storytelling, and genre-blending sound. Drawing inspiration from classic soul and modern R&B, her music explores themes of love, self-discovery, vulnerability, and empowerment. With a voice that’s both intimate and commanding, she creates music that feels personal yet universally relatable.

Her sound blends lush harmonies, laid-back grooves, and contemporary production, influenced by artists such as SZA, H.E.R., Summer Walker, and Erykah Badu. Whether delivering stripped-down ballads or hypnotic mid-tempo tracks, she brings authenticity and depth to every record.
