Music elder, P-Funk progenitor and Mothership pilot George Clinton is making rounds these days promoting his new book, “Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain’t That Funkin’ Kinda Hard on You ?” He is pictured here at the Carrier Dome after an interview with Soul of Syracuse’s Jerome Espree (about a decade ago).
Singer Trey Songz had the crowd eating out of his hands by the end of his nearly hour-long set.
Chances are you are not a pop star. So you have no idea what it’s like to be in a different city every night or be asked to summons the necessary energy to perform at your peak. The expectations must be unfathomable.
An artist can either raise the bar or lose their status.
Last night we covered the Block Party Concert at the Dome last night and saw R&B singer Trey Songz set the standard. He performed for nearly and hour and had the crowd at the point of eruption.
West Coast Hip Hop Collective Drop City Yacht Club (formerly The Freshmen) was a good appetizer.
Drop City Yacht Club (MC Kristo) kicked off the show with a taste of West Coast Hip Hop.
By the time headliner Ke$ha hit the stage (after a lengthy delay) things weren’t just the same.
