MADISON, Wis.— CUES said it will celebrate its members and honor CUES Awards winners during the CUES Member Appreciation & Awards Event, which will be held virtually Oct. 20. The event is free and open to all CUES members.
CUES said comedian Meghan Handley will kick off the show, followed by singer, songwriter and music producer Claude Kelly. Kelly is a four-time Grammy Award nominee, and has written or co-written songs for the likes of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Kesha, Brandy, and One Direction.
“Kelly will share his humble beginnings, the obstacles he overcame, and how he stayed true to his own development to become who he wanted to be. He will also take questions from the audience in an interactive Q&A session,” CUES said.
In addition, SongDivision is also set to make a return to this event, CUES said, adding, “A people engagement company, they'll bring the fun and help our members strengthen their connections with each other through the power of music.
