(SAVANNAH, GA) Internationally renowned recording artist and performer James Rogers, will perform his show on Saturday, Nov. 2 in Savannah at the Armstrong Atlantic State University’s Fine Arts Auditorium at 7 p.m.
“This is my opportunity to honor and pay tribute to the members of the Armed Forces and their families, active and veterans, who have served their country so selflessly,” said Rogers.
“The fact I am able to perform in a part of the country that is known for its military population during the Veterans Day season makes it an ideal opportunity for me to show my respect to these brave men and women.”
