Ross plays region twice this weekend
Daughter Rhonda to open at Wolf Trap show
Motown legend Diana Ross performs a sold-out show at Modell Performing Arts Center at the Lyric (140 W. Mt Royal Ave., Baltimore) Saturday at 8 p.m. and at Wolf Trap (1645 Trap Rd., Vienna, Va.) on Sunday at 8 p.m.
Ross debuted with the all girl-group the Supremes in the 1960s. Their hit songs included “Baby Love,” “You Can’t Hurry Love” and “Stop! In the Name of Love.” Ross left the Supremes and went on to pursue a solo career. Her songs “I’m Coming Out” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” became chart-topping hits. Ross’s daughter Rhonda Ross will also make an appearance at Wolf Trap.
Though billed as the “In the Name of Love Tour 2014,” Ross’s set list for her June shows was almost identical to the set list she’s toured with the last five years.
Tickets for her show at Wolf Trap range from $35-60. For more information, visit wolftrap.org.
