Ruben Studdard won the second season of American Idol before earning a Grammy nomination for his debut album. “The Velvet Teddy Bear” went on to record several R&B albums, including 2018’s Ruben Sings Luther – a tribute to his own idol. After a successful tour celebrating the soul legend’s songs, Studdard returns to give fans another night with Luther. 

Imagine having a second chance to see a Luther Vandross concert. Imagine the vocals and music played and staged the same way he performed them. There will never be another singer like Luther Vandross, and no voice comes closer to him than Ruben Studdard – the remarkable singer who was hailed as the “next Luther” during his American Idol run.
