R&B

Jax River Jams: Boyz II Men – Thursday, April 14

Riverfront Plaza | Downtown Jacksonville 

With four Grammy Awards, tens-of-millions of records sold and an unmatched imprint on contemporary R&B, Boyz II Men could hang it up at any time. The group’s sultry, infectious ballads endure, as does the harmonious trio as a performing group. Boyz II Men headlines the second installment of this year’s Jax River Jams on Thursday with support from Duval hip-hop artist (and JME contributor) Mr. Al Pete.
