President Elect Barack Obama's inauguration is slated to be a monumental moment in U.S. history.
Some of the greatest musicians of our time will gather for the gala including an up and coming soul singer from Mobile.
Sergio Davis has played hundreds of gigs for over 20 years, but the opportunity to play for President Elect Barack Obama is something he never imagined.
"I'm very honored, I'm more excited than anything. It's like winning the lottery or anything..it's better than American Idol!,"Said Davis.
During one of Davis' shows an Obama committee member invited the soul singer to Washington D.C. for the Inaugural Ball.
While Obama's inauguration will make history as the first African-American President of the United States, so will Davis, as the first Southern Soul artist to ever grace the stage at a presidential inauguration.
If you'd like to see Sergio Davis perform, you can catch his show tomorrow night at the Whiskey for The Beverly McDowell Christmas Blues Party. Doors open at 7pm.
