New Orleans native, Aaron Neville releases his new album, My True Story (Blue Note Records) on January 22, 2013. He hand-picked his favorite tracks from the doo-wop era for this album and revitalized them by adding his soulful and expressive voice into these songs. Working with well-known producer Keith Richards, Neville's return to the music scene is destined for success. An inductee of the Delta Music Museum Hall of Fame, Neville has embarked on a national tour to promote the release of his album and treat his fervent fans with performances of his most recognizable career hits. Clearly, an artist who possesses an iconic and evocative voice, Neville is on the verge of celebrating his 50th year in the music recording world. Enjoy his powerful voice at this upcoming Free At Noon concert.
