Info
Jeffrey Osborne and Will Downing bring two seasoned takes on R&B to the same stage. Raised in Providence and first heard with L.T.D. in the early 70s, Osborne moved from the drum stool to the mic and shaped a blend of soul, funk and gospel inflections that carried into his solo work from the early 80s. Albums like Jeffrey Osborne, Stay with Me Tonight and Emotional set the tone: supple baritone, melodic writing, and a taste for romantic ballads. He has also written and recorded alongside artists from Dionne Warwick to jazz‑funk players, keeping a classic R&B line through projects up to Worth It All.
From Brooklyn, Will Downing approaches the same terrain with a quieter, jazz‑tinged edge. After years as an in-demand studio vocalist, he stepped out with his 1988 debut and A Dream Fulfilled, where he reimagined A Love Supreme. Since then, his baritone has anchored slow to midtempo grooves across albums spanning adult R&B and smooth jazz, often centered on intimacy and relationships, and featuring collaborations with Rachelle Ferrell or Gerald Albright.
They meet on March 1, 2026 at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Canada.
