Jennifer Hudson headlines Soluna concert
Poor Jennifer Hudson only finished seventh on her season of American Idol. Since then, she’s had to take solace in winning an Oscar, and a Grammy, starring on Broadway and gaining millions of fans worldwide. That’s a powerhouse performer, as you’ll be able to see for yourself when she appears in concert with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra (Sarah Hicks conducting) as part of the Soluna Festival. And I’m telling you — I am going.
