The “Mother of Cool Smoke” returns to Atlantic City for her second consecutive year honoring the incomparable Phyllis Linda Hyman. Mary Cross, whose velvety contralto echoes through time, transforms every stage she takes into a sanctuary of soul.

Choose between two mesmerizing performances — a matinee or evening show — each delivering an intimate experience that transcends mere entertainment. Backed by the dynamic Mary Cross 2NspireU band, Mary doesn’t just perform Phyllis Hyman’s repertoire; she channels her essence, bringing the legendary artist’s spirit back to the stage with reverence and passion.

This year’s tribute expands to honor giants Angie Stone and Roberta Flack. Plus, witness an exciting exclusive when Mary will debut her first dance single “Steppin’ 2Gether” LIVE, joined by NY Producer Stix Bones.

What makes this experience extraordinary isn’t just the music — it’s Mary’s authentic connection with her audience. Without corporate backing or industry machinery, she delivers music straight from the soul, creating an atmosphere where time stands still and classic sounds reign supreme.

Special surprise guests will join this celebration of musical legacy, making each performance unique and unrepeatable. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a night where the golden era of soul lives again through one of today’s most passionate preservers of classic sound.
