As the Chene Park Amphitheater, powered by The Right Productions, continues to be one of Detroit's prolific venues for concerts they provided yet another exciting show on Friday evening. This time on another beautifully warm weathered evening the outdoor pavilion that sits along the Detroit riverfront hosted Sheila E and Tower Of Power.
Now before the main acts, opening the show was a local band, Infatuation, that got the party started with their hard charged and high energy performance. They had the audience dancing to their mesh sounds of R&B with a Rock and Roll flare setting the crowd up for the main course. Now what I thought and probably most the patrons there might have thought was that Tower Of Power would take to the stage next but that was not the case as the still relevant musician and singer Sheila E took to the stage after a very short intermission. Now everyone knows Sheila E as the percussionist who was under the mentor-ship and also girlfriend to the late great Prince and she had just performed a very powerful tribute selection to Prince at the BET Awards. So could we expect it that night? Well yes indeed she came to lay it out as she initially started out with some of her songs, banging away on her drums and then she dived right into her tribute performance honoring The Purple One. This woman is still one of the baddest percussionist out their and she is shutting down any critics thinking that she is still not relevant today. And of course you already know that she had to close her set with her number one hit "The Glamorous
Life" that had everyone on their feet. Such an awesome performance.
I wish that I could give some commentary on the Tower Of Power performance but unfortunately since right after Sheila E performed and she pretty much left avoiding any interviews or photo opportunities, well THE REEL HUSTLER had left the building to make another event. But the time there I thoroughly enjoyed the show on yet another gorgeous evening at the fabulous Chene Park Amphitheater. As always I encourage you to click on the link below to the Chene Park site and check out the upcoming shows so that you can be sure to take advantage of a night under the stars, checking out some stars and hanging with the other local stars that will be attending. You will never be disappointed, rain or shine the show will go on!
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER
