Ladies and gentlemen, turn on your love lights. Suave neo-soul singer John Legend is set to take the stage at the Maryhill Winery Amphitheater on Aug. 29, and he's bringing acoustic soul goddess India.Arie and up-and-coming artist Vaughn Anthony with him.

Legend emerged as one of music's top R&B icons with the 2004 release of his debut album, "Get Lifted," most notable for its moving piano-driven ballad "Ordinary People." Legend has released two more successful albums: "Once Again" in 2006, which produced the hit single "Save Room," and 2008's "Evolver," featuring the upbeat track "Green Light."

Though the vocally smooth, understated singer may have the reputation of a sharply dressed ladies man, Legend is a serious songwriter -- and he's won six Grammys to prove it. In 2007, Legend was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Opening for Legend will be Vaughn Anthony, Legend's little brother and protégé, and Grammy winner India.Arie, best known for her spiritual, self-affirming songs "Video" and "I Am Not My Hair."

Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and the concert starts at 7:30. Tickets cost $150 for rail seating, $66 for reserved seating and $46 for general admission, and can be purchased through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 503-224-4400.

The Maryhill Winery Amphitheater is located off Washington Scenic Route 14 west of U.S. Highway 97, near Goldendale. Call the Maryhill Winery at 877-627-9445 or visit www.maryhillwinery.com for details.
