After a long hot day in Detroit with the temperature reaching close to 90 degrees, I was looking for a way to just cool down and what better way than to hit up the Wednesday Night Concert Series at the Chene Park Amphitheater with the feature
artist being Eric Benet. Now I was really close to not going because the heat had me in a lazy state but at about the last minute I thought, hey it is a beautiful day and it started to cool off so off to the show I go and best believe I have no regrets.
I arrived to the venue about midway through the performance of the very beautiful local singer Charity who was the opening act on the bill. This young woman was not just a pretty face but a very talented singer as well who got the almost packed
audience worked up with her strong performance. She did so well that it even had Mr. Benet come out to get a peek of her singing.
Now after her segment and a brief intermission Eric Benet took to the stage, comfortably sporting some jeans, tee shirt, a blazer and a summer hat and he started crooning the crowd with the jams that especially the women are familiar to. It had
been awhile since I have seen him perform but the singer / song writer can still put on a great show. He actually has an energetic show to which he is all over the stage dancing with random fans, getting some of the gawking boaters to blow their horns, grabbing someone's camera and taking selfies and most of all singing. It was certainly a treat to be out enjoying this talented singer and his exciting show while taking in the awesome ambiance of the riverfront view from the outdoor pavilion that displays the serene Detroit river. Oh what a night!
It is not too late if you have not been to the Chene Park Amphitheater, powered by The Right Productions, to enjoy the outdoor concert experience because there are still a few Wednesday shows available and plenty of prime concerts on the weekend. Just click on the link below to check out the website for upcoming shows. Hey if you have not been to any of the shows, you have no idea what you are missing. Rain or shine they are prepared to continue with the concerts.
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!!!
