REMEMBERING MARVIN BRINGS THE MUSIC AND LEGACY OF MARVIN GAYE BACK TO LIFE
D.C.'s Own Shelton Price Leads a Powerful Live Tribute Featuring a Full Band, Horns and PercussionHI-NELLA, N.J. — "Remembering Marvin," a live musical tribute celebrating the life, sound and enduring legacy of Marvin Gaye, comes to Wilson's Restaurant & Live Music Lounge on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
The production features Washington, D.C.'s own Shelton Price, backed by a full live band complete with horns and percussion.
Together, the musicians will re-create the warmth, power and emotional depth of the unmistakable Marvin Gaye sound audiences around the world continue to know and love. Marvin Gaye was more than a remarkable singer. He was a visionary artist whose music explored love, heartbreak, faith, social justice and the shared human experience. His voice helped define the Motown era, while his creativity pushed soul music into bold and deeply personal new territory.
From romantic ballads and irresistible grooves to socially conscious songs that spoke directly to the times, Gaye created a body of work that continues to inspire artists and connect generations. His music remains as meaningful today as it was when it was first recorded.
"Remembering Marvin" honors that extraordinary legacy by bringing Gaye's musical vision back to life onstage.
Rather than simply imitating the recordings, the show aims to capture their spirit, the rich vocal arrangements, layered rhythms, soulful melodies and vibrant live instrumentation that made his music timeless.
With a full horn section adding the signature punch and warmth of classic soul, and live percussion supplying the movement and rhythmic detail at the heart of the music, the production will give audiences the complete Marvin Gaye experience. Every element has been assembled to create a full, authentic sound worthy of his legendary catalog.
Shelton Price brings his own vocal strength, emotional honesty and commanding stage presence to the performance. Supported by an accomplished ensemble of musicians, Price will guide the audience through a musical journey celebrating the many sides of Marvin Gaye: the romantic, the revolutionary, the spiritual seeker and the soul-music icon.
The evening is designed for longtime Marvin Gaye admirers as well as new listeners discovering his music and message. It will be more than a concert, it will be a celebration of an artist whose voice continues to move, comfort and inspire the world.
