Comedian Kelly
Williams emceed the event and kept the crowd laughing all
night long with her quit-wit and unrehearsed humor. The
night was filled with eating, drinking, dancing, laughing,
and the musical mix of soul, rock, old school, new school
with a sultry mix in between. Each performance left the
crowd waiting in anxious anticipation for the next. Yes,
they were just that good.
House band
“Electricity” accompanied each artist and when DJ M-Sax was
not pumping out the sounds between sets, he and Arthur
Bishop double-teamed the audience on their saxophones and
“blew them away.”
The talented
lineup included: Tim Jackson, Chicago, Illinois;
YASU, Toledo, Ohio; Wayne
Hightower, Cleveland Ohio; Arthur Bishop, Toledo, Ohio,
Demetrius Rodriguez, Alliance, Ohio;
Michael Barringer, Toledo
Ohio; DJ M-Sax and, of course, the lady who made it all
happen, Thee’ Oracle, Lisa Hightower.
March Madness Music Fest, the
brainchild of Lisa Thee’ Oracle Hightower was the kickoff
