Grammy-nominated soul singer and songwriter Ledisi is coming to Toledo on "The Truth" tour to promote her new album of the same name. The I Blame You singer will stop at the Stranahan Theater on Tuesday. The Robert Glasper Experience, which fuses hip-hop, blues, soul, rock, and jazz, will open for Ledisi. She is known for neo-soul style, jazz-infused melodies, and silky vocals. In the 1990s, Ledisi was part of the jazz group Anibade, before going solo. She garnered mainstream attention in 2007 after the release of her third solo project, Lost & Found. The album spawned hits Alright and Think of You and earned two Grammy nominations. Her fourth album, Turn Me Loose, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Charts in 2008. Her latest project contains more uptempo and celebratory type songs than she is known for. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. concert are $50.50, $40.50, and $30.50 and are available at the Stranahan box office and by phone at 419-381-8851.

Sixth graders from Maumee Valley Country Day School will discuss an app they invented at a Friday Lunch ‘n' Learn hosted by Seed Coworking. The students won the regional competition of the 2014 Verizon Innovation App Challenge earlier this year, and progressed to national competition. Their app, Beachteria, allows users to pull information from websites about the safety of beaches in the Great Lakes area, such as whether or not a particular beach is open. The app also includes mini-games that teach about the causes of E. coli and other bacteria. The public presentation is free and will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 25 S. St. Clair St.
