After its rise to fame in the R&B genre nearly three decades ago, the Atlanta trio Kut Klose is currently making the rounds by performing its classic hits at shows around the state. Forming in 1993, Athena Cage, Lavonn Battle and Tabitha Duncan began creating their soon-to-be hits and were discovered by musician Keith Sweat. After Sweat began working with the women, they released their debut album, Surrender, in 1995, which was also produced by Sweat. The album was a hit, and they churned out three singles, “Surrender,” “Lovely Thang” and “I Like,” which rose to acclaim. Of all the music they released, “I Like” peaked at No. 6 on the American Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100. They went on to collaborate on Sweat’s song “Twisted” in 1996. Now, they have made their way to Athens to showcase the length of their music career. Tonight’s performance is for ages 25 and up, and guests are encouraged to dress to impress. The evening also includes guest performers IAMTIKICA, C White, Jalen Eberhardt and AD.
