Save The Date: August 30 At Wolf Creek Amphitheater
R&B luminary Melba Moore is set to headline a live concert at Wolf Creek Amphitheater in Hampton, Georgia, on Friday, August 30, 2025. The announcement came via Moore’s official Instagram account, where she shared a vibrant poster and the words “Save the date 8-30 Melba Moore Live In Atlanta With Full live band 🎹 🎷 🎤💥 Wolf Creek Ampitheater Tickets on sale soon 🎫 Love Melba Forever Moore @wolfcreekevents ATL.” Fans can expect a night of soulful classics backed by a full ensemble of musicians.
A Legend’s Return
Moore, whose career spans five decades, first broke onto the scene in the late 1960s as a standout from the Apollo Theatre circuit. She earned a Tony Award in 1970 for her role in the Broadway production of Purlie and went on to score multiple R&B chart hits in the 1970s and ’80s, including “This Is It” and “Read My Lips.” Over the years she’s toured extensively, blending gospel, soul, jazz, and pop influences. This upcoming show marks her return to the Atlanta area after her sold-out performance at the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame virtual event in June, where she shared the bill with Regina Belle and Brenda Russell.
Recent Releases And Chart Success
Moore has remained active in the studio in 2025. On June 6 she dropped her dance single “No Filter” via Mirrorball Recordings, and within weeks it climbed to number seven on Traxsource’s Soulful House chart. In a follow-up Instagram post (@melba1moore), she celebrated: “Melba Moore Update Now at #7 Soulful house No Filter released 6-6-25 Download your copy today Love Melba Forever Moore Photo Credit: Ron Richardson www.traxsource.com.” The track showcases her signature powerful vocals over upbeat production by DJ Terry Hunter and George Pettus.
