MADISON, Wis.— Talent development leader CUES is set to celebrate its members and honor CUES Awards winners during the CUES Member Appreciation & Awards Event, happening October 20 online. The event is free and open to all CUES members.
Comedian Meghan Handley will kick off the show, followed by singer, songwriter and music producer Claude Kelly. Kelly is a four-time Grammy Award nominee, and has written or co-written songs for the likes of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Kesha, Brandy, and One Direction.
