Alex Huff: Soul Sunday

The Soul Sunday series, hosted by Debra James Tucker, continues with Alex Huff. Driven by a deep sense of cultural pride and purpose, Alex’s mission is to “introduce and reintroduce audiences of color to our music,” preserving and celebrating the rich legacy of African American musical traditions while inspiring a new generation of listeners.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Alex is a proud graduate of the Cleveland School of the Arts, where he studied vocal music. Though classically trained, it was during his middle school years that he discovered a deep passion for jazz.

After high school, Alex continued his education at Central State University, where he became an active member of the CSU Chorus. With the ensemble, he traveled across the country performing a diverse repertoire that included classical works, Negro spirituals, gospel, and more.

Upon earning his degree, Alex joined the acclaimed Jeremy Winston Chorale, with whom he has performed extensively both nationally and internationally.

Locally, Alex has graced stages throughout the region, captivating audiences at venues such as Columbus Museum of Art, Ginger Rabbit, The Schottenstein Center, and Dick’s Den, among others.

The unique sound of vocalist Debra James Tucker is a product of extensive training in jazz, classical and gospel music. Her new album is “Voices”, which continues her exploration of early black church forms in contemporary contexts. She is the writer/performer of the one woman show Survival of the Boulevard Singer-winner of an Ohio Arts Council Award for Individual Excellence, has been a visiting instructor at Denison University in the history of African American Gospel Music, and an artist in residence with several youth arts organizations.

Food & Bar: Our full food and drink menu will be available before and during the show–our kitchen will be closing at 9pm for this event.
