Grammy-Nominated Singer and Songwriter Raheem DeVaughn is set to headline “The Soul Experience Tour,” which is slated to hit Detroit on Friday, December 3. The concert, which will also include special guests Kindred The Family Soul, Vina Mills and Monica Blaire marks the first time that DeVaughn will headline a concert in Detroit.

“Detroit is the hometown of Barry Gordy, Motown and the Queen, Aretha Franklin, someone who has always been a huge supporter of mine,” said DeVaughn. “My homie Dwele and the late great J. Dilla are also from Detroit, so that night when I perform it’s definitely going to be for those that wave the soul flag for timeless music.”

DeVaughn will perform along with his full-band and will rock out to songs off of his latest album The Love & War Masterpeace, which debuted in March and includes the hit single “Bulletproof,” featuring Hip-Hop Superstar Ludacris.
