It was another hot Friday night in the city of Detroit and what better way to cool off than to be down on the waterfront at the outdoor Chene Park Amphitheater to catch another exciting concert. On this mild summer evening the riverfront concert venue hosted the St. Louis rapper Nelly and the sexy songstress Keyshia Cole.
For reason unknown to me and the modest crowd that was in attendance the show started but was delayed a good while waiting for the main opening act of Keyshia Cole but when she finally took to the stage it was well worth the wait as she went into her song vault to sing her hits "Trust and Believe, Love, Enough Of No Love and Heaven Sent" to name a few. During her set she took a break to thank all the people that supports her and thanking Detroit telling the fans how much she loved them and their city. I guess she came prepared for the summer night because she came out with a very casual outfit of cut off jean shorts, a half sport tee top and a jean shirt over it. Still she came to sing and entertain and that she did with no complaints from the audience.
After a very brief intermission the main act "Nelly" took to the stage sporting black jeans and a black "DETROIT-VS-EVERYBODY" tee shirt to show his love for the "D". Right from the start he had the crowd up out their seats as he went right in with some of his old hits like "Country Grammar". After about a few songs I had to cut out (due to the late start that pushed the time off) so I was not able to catch his complete set, but I can only imagine that he got it hot in there.
I say it all the time that if you want to really enjoy one of Detroit's true gems, especially on a beautiful night, you have to attend a concert at Chene Park. You get a view of the wonderful riverfront, catching the privileged boaters out partying on the river, beautiful skys and some of the hottest shows to hit the city during the summertime. Be sure to go to the Chene Park website below to check the schedule for upcoming shows at the outdoor amphitheater. Hope to see you there one beautiful night!
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!!!
