Duo Branden and James bring the unique partnership to the Sammons Center RICH LOPEZ | Staff writer rich@dallasvoice.com It’s a cabaret of sorts for the Sammons Center for the Arts — or it will be on Oct.
20 when the venue hosts the fundraiser Artfully, Sammons. The event will help support the arts groups and local artists Sammons features, but it will also help maintain the historic building itself that sits atop Harry Hines Boulevard and Oak Lawn Avenue.
And considering the night’s talent, it will be a fabulous gay affair. “We are so excited to have Branden and James delight our audience with their incredible vocals and cello performance this year,” Sammons Center Executive Director Joanna St.
Angelo said in a press release. “While they are well known for their live performances in places like Puerto Vallarta and Provincetown, we are thrilled that they will be coming to the Sammons Center for a one-night-only show.” The couple — both musically and in life — have a distinct sound that merges classical sensibilities with pop songs, ballads, show tunes and The Great American Songbook selections.
