Jesse Boykins III, illustrious sound has given eargasms to his devoted fans for years. Known for his eclectic style and erotic stage shows, he actually kept this show pretty tame. Opening with Greyscale, he crooned to a sold out show. Fans swayed and vibe to his songs such as "Back Home", "B4 the Night is Through" and the "Wonder Years". Jesse served up a stellar performance, which gave the audience more than their monies worth.
Jessie Ware doesn't get to visit the states and tour very often but when she does, it's a show you won't soon forget. Coming on stage decorated with a simple backdrop and a 4 piece band, the band started, lights came up and the British Sweetheart began with "Running", serenading the 9:30 Club crowd. Everyone on the main floor and way above in the rafters sang along to this songbird, song after song. Ware showed that she isn't just a voice, but shared some of her charming wit and marriage update, as well as her dogs pooh eating antics. Ware held the audience captive with tracks "Say You Love Me" and the jungle laced track "If Your Never Gonna Move" sent the crowd roaring! It's safe to say that this song was definitely the "it" moment of the night for everyone in attendance. Saints, the Tough Love Tour is one that should be on any music lovers must see list.
