Get ready to welcome the legendary Gladys Knight back to town Sunday for a concert at the new Vibrant Music Hall in Waukee. The Empress of Soul has been captivating audiences with her powerhouse voice ever since she won a TV singing contest at the tender age of 8. Sixty years and 10 Grammys later, she’s still wowing audiences with hits like “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” and “Midnight Train to Georgia.”

This weekend’s concert marks Knight’s first return to Central Iowa since 2020, following a global tour, a whirlwind of TV and film appearances and a Kennedy Center Honor from President Joe Biden. Tickets are still available for the concert at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
