Brian McKnight

MANILA, Philippines — Another Filipino favorite Brian McKnight is back to regale once more his local fans via concert tonight at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

Aptly billed “Back with Brian McKnight,” the concert produced by MJM Productions has Angeline Quinto as special guest performer.

McKnight is expected to pick the best from his catalogue: “I Remember You” (1995); “Anytime” (1997), “Back At One” (1999); and “Just Me.”

Making tonight’s show at Smart-Araneta Coliseum more exciting is the performance of Brian’s sons Brian Jr. and Niko who are expected to sing “Marry Your Daughter,” which has to date garnered more than 28 million views.
