Regina Marie Williams is Live on the Drive!

You couldn’t ask for more than the stunning Regina Marie Williams to bring in the fifth year of Live on the Drive on Thursday, June 14 from 6 to 8 pm. The free concert is held outdoors on the scenic Victory Memorial Drive at 34th Ave., one of the most beautiful concert settings in the city. 

Regina Marie Williams has been wowing audiences on Twin Cities stages since 1987, both as a phenomenal actress and world-class vocalist. You may have seen her as Dinah Washington in Dinah Was or more recently at the Guthrie in Streetcar Named Desire. She released her third album, When a Woman Loves a Man, shortly after her tribute concert to Nina Simone at the Capri Theater last fall. According to Angela Bassett in Entertainment Weekly, Regina is “The best singer you’ve never heard,” and if you’ve never heard her, now’s the time!

Joining Regina on stage for this concert are Thom West on piano, Dave Karr, sax, Kevin Washington on drums and Jay Young on bass.

Williams’ concert will start this season in style as we celebrate year five of Live on the Drive.  Be sure to pack a picnic, invite your neighbors, bring your friends and walk or roll to the concert. 

Live on the Drive is presented by founding partner, North Memorial, with the Cleveland Neighborhood Association, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, the Northwest Minneapolis Business Association, North End Hardware and The Lowry Café, Camden Music School, NorthNews, Camden Pet Hospital, The Capri Theater, Washburn McReavy, Emily’s F&M Café, and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.  (Sponsors to date.) This activity is funded, in part, by appropriations from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State’s general fund, and its arts and cultural heritage fund that was created by a vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
