Sixteen months after Roanoke’s Jefferson Center shut its doors to live audiences, the venue is preparing to reopen. “And we’re kind of going out big with the season, saying: We’re here; these are world-class and internationally recognized acts that you have an opportunity to see in a 900-seat hall,” Jefferson Center executive director Cyrus Pace said. The Jeff’s premiere Star City Series will feature acclaimed soul singer Gladys Knight, world music stars The Gipsy Kings and world-class banjo man Bela Fleck’s return to the bluegrass format, all in Shaftman Performance Hall. Fleck’s ex-New Grass Revival bandmate Sam Bush is returning to Shaftman, as is blues/Americana singer Shemekia Copeland (this time, as a headliner), while singer/songwriter Anais Mitchell will make her debut there, leading the trio Bonny Light Horseman.
