Apparently I've been taking Sheryl Crow for granted. Sure she's a successful and appealing pop/rock singer/songwriter with multiple Grammys and platinum albums who had a long engagement to Lance Armstrong and who has a longer record of humanitarian causes. And she's a breast cancer survivor. But we weren't prepared for what we witnessed at VCU's Siegel Center tonight. From her opening number, an extended take on "A Change Would Do You Good" to her energetic encore, Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and all the hits in between, she offered up a solid ninety minutes of power pop that made believers of those of us who hadn't had the "live" experience. The girl rocked and so did her 8-piece band including two serious back-up singers. It's always a treat when expectations are exceeded and tonight's Genworth Children's Advantage Classic benefit achieved that and more. This will have to go down in my book as one of Richmond's best concerts of the year. And it's been a very good year.
There might be just a few tickets left for our JAMinc/In Your Ear Studio Concert with Wayne Henderson and Helen White this Thursday. Hurry to our Website and snag yours quick.
