The E! Terrell Entertainment Series concludes this year’s highly successful 20th anniversary concert season with the renowned Side Street Strutters at the Jamie Foxx Performing Arts Center at 7:30 pm on April 27th.
Celebrating more than 100 years of American jazz, this popular 8-piece ensemble brings their own 40th anniversary show entitled “Swingin’ & Singin” to the E! Terrell stage with a potpourri of jazz, pop, and R&B melodies that have shaped the country’s musical landscape over the years.
