The Best Hip Hop & R&B Concerts Are Finally Coming to K-W!
Until now, concert experiences in this region have largely catered to younger crowds, rock enthusiasts, country fans, indie lovers or some Hip Hop/R&B events on a small scale. If you enjoy Hip Hop/R&B music—particularly Hip Hop, R&B, and Reggae music that defined the ‘90s and early 2000s—your options have been slim to none.
THAT CHANGES NOW!
We’re proud to welcome R&B Super Star MONTELL JORDAN for our first one of this series!

Get your’s before it’s too late
This concert series will fill that gap right here in Kitchener Waterloo, inside the Centre In The Square. For far too long, there’s been a lack of meaningful Urban entertainment experiences for Gen X and older Millennials—people who grew up with the smooth beats, heartfelt lyrics, and iconic artists that shaped our lives. This is about giving our generation, and everyone who loves the music of that era a space and opportunity to enjoy the music we loved and the memories tied to them, right here at home.
This isn’t a corporate venture; it’s a personal mission. As someone born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo, with a lifelong passion for Urban music, I’ve dedicated more than 20 years to the music industry.
Over the years, I’ve successfully organized concerts that brought names like Serani, Mr. Vegas, and Konshens to our community, proving that there’s an appetite for high-quality Urban music events here. The R&B Chronicles is the next step in continuing that vision.
Together we can set the stage for more diverse entertainment in the Kitchener Waterloo Area
Amazing artists need an amazing venue. And we want to give YOU an amazing experience
The Centre in the Square is the ideal home for the R&B Chronicles. Here’s why:
An Intimate Experience You Can’t Get Anywhere Else Locally:
These performers are typically booked for large festivals, stadium tours, or arena settings, where you’re part of a massive crowd (usually 3000 people or more). At the Centre in the Square, you’ll experience these iconic acts in an intimate, premium setting that gives you a closer connection to the music and the artists. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see world-class performers like never before, right here in Kitchener-Waterloo.
Unmatched Acoustics:
As one of Canada’s premier live music venues, its state-of-the-art acoustics allow you to experience R&B music as it’s meant to be heard—crystal clear and immersive.
Comfortable and Intimate Setting
With excellent sightlines from virtually every seat, and updated seating, it offers the perfect balance of a premium concert experience and a personal connection with the performers.
Accessibility
Located right in downtown Kitchener, the venue is easy to reach for locals without the need for long commutes and expensive parking to Toronto, Niagara, Buffalo, or Detroit.
A Venue That Matches the Artists
The calibre of performers we’re bringing deserves a stage that does them justice. The Centre in the Square is the clear winner in our region as it offers the professionalism and prestige these performers—and audiences—expect.

Continually striving to find the balance between event cost and ticket pricing that’s fair!
Making the artists we love accessible to the Kitchener- Waterloo area.
One of my goals for the R&B Chronicles is to make these concerts as accessible as possible. However, it’s important to understand that securing artists of this calibre comes with significant costs. These are performers who are highly sought-after, and delivering a show of this quality at a premium venue like the Centre in the Square requires pricing that reflects the experience.
That said, I’ve worked hard to structure ticket prices to be fair while ensuring the series remains sustainable. When you purchase a ticket, you’re not only enjoying an unforgettable night of live music—you’re also supporting a vision for bringing more world-class entertainment to Kitchener-Waterloo in the future and supporting the development of local artists.
We’re doing this FUBU Style!!
For US By US!!
It’s a grassroots initiative fueled entirely by passion. There’s no major production company behind this, no big investors calling the shots. Every decision, every artist booked, every event planned has been powered by my lifelong love for Urban music and my unwavering commitment to enriching our community.
This isn’t just about hosting events; it’s about building something meaningful for the Kitchener-Waterloo region—a cultural cornerstone that celebrates the music we grew up with and creates unforgettable experiences for those who call this area home.
Your ticket purchase isn’t just an entry to a concert—it’s a vote for more events like this in K-W. It’s a step toward proving that our region is ready to be a destination for world-class entertainment, that there’s a demand for the music we love, and that we don’t need to rely on Toronto or Buffalo for incredible nights out.
Without consistent support, the R&B Chronicles simply can’t continue. These acts are highly sought after, performing at large festivals and arenas worldwide. Bringing them to an intimate, premium venue like Centre in the Square is a rare opportunity that can only happen with a dedicated community rallying behind it.
This is your chance to be part of something bigger—to help build a legacy of music and culture for our community, by our community. Together, we can make the R&B Chronicles not just a series, but a tradition that continues for years to come.
Let’s get this done Kitchener-Waterloo!
As attendance grows, we’ll have the ability to bring in even more iconic artists and performers.
Once the R&B Chronicles is established, I’d love to branch out into other Urban music genres, like hip-hop, and even host events featuring top comedians.
If this series thrives, the vision includes bringing the R&B Chronicles to other cities across Ontario that would otherwise not have this opportunity, ensuring even more fans can experience these unforgettable nights.
With consistent community support, Kitchener-Waterloo could become a recognized destination for Urban music and culture in Ontario, putting our region on the map as a leader in entertainment for Gen X and Millennials.
