FRIDAY 15
MUSIC: Cincys R&B Fest
Several turn-of-the-century R&B stars will be on hand for the first Cincys R&B Fest, showcasing artists primarily from the Atlanta and Texas areas. Jagged Edge had its biggest success in the early 00s, with hits like Where the Party At and Lets Get Married, which won a 2001 Soul Train Music Award (as did their sophomore album, J.E. Heartbreak). The Atlanta group has worked extensively with Jermaine Dupri and his So So Def label. Also from Atlanta, 112 had a banner year in 1997, hitting the charts several times, including with their single Cupid. The group was also featured on Puff Daddys Grammy-winning Biggie Smalls tribute, Ill Be Missing You, alongside Faith Evans. Ginuwine was one of the top R&B artists in the world in the late 90s/early 00s, hitting the Platinum-selling mark with his first three albums. He is best known for his ubiquitous debut single, the raunchy hit Pony, which featured the timelessly poetic line, If youre horny, lets do it, ride it, my pony. Tevin Campbell, SILK and H-Town round out the lineup. 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15. $49.50-$250. Heritage Bank Center, 100 Broadway St., Downtown, heritagebankcenter.com.
