Last night was an amazingly beautiful day, not too hot and not too cool but just the right temperature for some enjoyable weather. And did I enjoy myself as I picked the perfect evening to make my first concert appearance of the year at the Chene Park Amphitheater that sits off the Detroit Riverfront. The concert for the evening was the dynamic soulful R&B artist Kem who performed to another almost sold out crowd due to the fact that he had already sold out the Friday evening show. Unlike the Friday show where he had the songstress Lalah Hathaway open for him, the show started off with an up and coming young artist artist named Cam who I had missed his set but I hear that he did well. Then he was followed up by the talented R&B singer Avery Sunshine who mellowed the crowd with her songs including the popular "Call My Name".
After a brief intermission giving the audience a chance to take advantage of any restroom runs, snacks or drink pit stops the main attraction took to the stage. Kem one of Detroit's own hometown heroes adorned in all white attire (white jeans, a white sleeveless vest, white sneakers and a white cap), some what casual attire but hey he was at home so why not get comfortable? But once he hit that stage his show was a fully charged burst of energy as he belted out hit after hit of the songs that people love and seem to can quote every line word for word. He even did a few tributes to some of his favorite artists like Earth, Wind and Fire as well as the purple one Prince and he had the crowd on their feet just about every song.
Kem certainly knows how to put on a great show, leaving the fans completely satisfied with his show. So yes I had an awesome evening enjoying some beautiful weather around some beautiful people, some wonderful music by Kem and a gorgeous view of the downtown / riverfront area at the fabulous outdoor amphitheater Chene Park. It doesn't get much better than that! I always strongly encourage any and all to make sure you check out the summer schedule of shows at the Chene Park website and be sure to come to some of the shows, trust me especially when the nights are like the one from last night you will definitely enjoy yourself.
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!!!
