D.C.-area native Alex Vaughn has all the makings of becoming R&B’s next star. Earlier this year, Spotify named her to its “R&B Rising’s Artists To Watch” list; she’s signed to arguably the hottest label in hip-hop and R&B; she’s working with some of the best and brightest artists and producers; and this weekend, she’s coming home for some of the last few dates of her first nationwide tour.

Vaughn is the marquee opening act on Ari Lennox’s Age/Sex/Location tour. The two singers from the D.C. region have two shows at The Fillmore Silver Spring this Saturday and Sunday and two at the historic Howard Theatre on March 28 and 29. (These were originally the tour’s last U.S. dates, but a February show in Oakland was rescheduled to next month.)
