The Detroit-based trio Horizon includes vocalists Rick Ingram, Prentiss “Smoke” Jones and Earl Vinson. The group has been featured on the “The Tonight Show” hosted by Jay Leno, in Business Week Magazine and on Fox Sports harmonizing a special Super Bowl greeting to Detroit.

The show will begin at 7 p.m. at the Ritz Theatre.
“This is a rare Saturday night show, and we’re hoping for a great crowd,” Idland said.
Tickets are available at The Pineapple and McFerrin’s Jewelry, as well as at the door the night of the show. Tickets are $15 for students and $20 for adults.
