(Baltimore, MD)- Jewel, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Kristin Chenoweth and Vanessa Williams have surprised attendees over the years as part of the annual “An Evening of Unexpected Delights” fundraiser benefiting The Journey Home, Baltimore City’s plan to make homelessness rare and brief. For the event’s sixth year, there is no more guessing. The organization has let the cat out of the bag, announcing The Roots will take the stage with special guest, Tony Award-winner Leslie Odom, Jr. of “Hamilton” on Saturday, October 22 at the Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric.

The format for the event, known for its exciting surprises, has also changed this year. While guests should still expect the unexpected, the new venue allows for a concert-focused event with more emphasis on the artists’ performances.
