Clarence Hill III, affectionately known as
“T-Lee” was born with music in his veins.
Practically his entire family is musically inclined.
His Dad, in particular (who played 3 instruments),
played a huge role in Clarence’s development of love
and appreciation for music. By the age of 2, he was
playing drums for his grandparents gospel quartet then,
at the age of 15, he gained interest in keyboards and
the rest is history. From that point on, anything with
black and white keys was his playground. He’s performed
with and played for celebrities such as, Anita Baker,
Robert Glasper, Tamela Mann, Ciara, Tyler Perry, and a host
of others. A few of his favorite pianists are Chick Corea, H
erbie Hancock, and Russell Ferante, to name a few.

Clarence also has an incredible jazz fusion band, pinning
there own genre as “journey music,” known as The 4 Korners.
Without a doubt, Music is one thing that Clarence was put
on earth to do and he does it with integrity, love and
passion, with the hope that his gift of music touches
the hearts and souls of his listeners, leaving them
inspired and uplifted.

2021-01-09 19:30 - 23:00 | The Velvet Note Main Stage, 4075 Old Milton Parkway, Alpharetta, 30005, United States
Saunders Sermons II is an American singer, trombonist, song writer and a two-time Grammy Award Winner. Born and raised in Miami, FL, Sermons began playing the trombone at the age of 11. Since then, he has grown to become an established independent artist with an admirable music career.

Majoring in jazz studies at the New School in New York City enabled Sermons to flesh out and hone his skills as a trombonist while encouraging him to branch out as a singer and songwriter. As a trombonist, Sermon’s vocals & trombone can be heard on Tedeschi Trucks Bands single “Part Of Me.” He has performed with hip hop and R&B icons such as 50 Cent, Diddy, and Snoop Dog, with whom Sermons toured Europe and North America, along with Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige.

In 2008 Saunders toured with R&B Grammy award vocalist Maxwell earning him his first Grammy. Sermons has been a member of the Tedesci Trucks Band since 2010, a role that has earned him a second GRAMMY award.

Sermons has also performed with jazz trumpet player Roy Hargrove. Fusing jazz with soul is Sermon’s own unique blend of artistry. He will take the stage on January 9th with his own band and blow audiences away!
