Pop Life
April 27th, 2013
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.

A rejuvenated Paul Robeson Performing Arts Company (PRPAC) took theater back to its roots when they collaborated with high school students and parents in the area to produce “Cabaret & Conversation” at The Community Folk Art Gallery (CFAC) last week. The show was developed with PRPAC following a controversy at CNS High when the school cast an all-white ensemble for “The Wiz.”
In the clip above, Dionna Owens and Justin Tanksley interpreted a duet by Rhianna and Mikkey Ekko.

Count Basie Orchestra Alto Sax player Marshall McDonald visited SU for a student workshop and concert with the Mortin Schiff Jazz Ensemble last week. During a break in selections he talked about his progression from Clarinet to Sax, and how legends such as Danny Turner and Marshall Royal offered up a unique flavor that helped create a signature Basie Orchestra sound. The conductor for the concert was SU professor Joe Riposo.
