Aloe Blacc an Extra Special entertainer
by MNichols on 5/26/14Emerald Queen Casino - TacomaI knew a few songs from the radio. Not knowing anything else about Aloe Blacc, my daughter and I decided to go to the show on Friday night. It started out slowly, with everyone seated, listening to his amazingly soulful voice. Then it kicked into a higher gear with the first few notes of "I'm the Man" followed by "Wake Me Up." The crowd was on their feet dancing. He followed with a few more upbeat songs from his older album, and the encore was unbelievable! His version of California Dreamin' (that reminds he and his band of home), followed by a bluesy "Billie Jean" tore the house down. After two hours we were so upbeat, the hour drive home seemed like no time at all. Talented musicians and an amazing performer, who laid it all out there for us.
