DruHill at Hollywood Casino

West Virginia may not be our target audience, but we'll definitely make the exception when it comes to R&B group DruHill.

Baltimore's DruHill performed in front of a packed (and I mean SRO*) house at Hollywood Casino this past Friday night where we'd bet hundreds of DC area fans came out to see their FREE concert.

This is DruHill: Tao, SisQo, Nokio, Jaz.z

SisQo is still wearing his hair in silver (baseball cap to the back), and the group's harmony and sound is still like the days of old when they gave us such classics as 'Beauty', 'Five Steps', and other fan favorites.

The group performed their rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Dirty Diana' that got an arousing reaction from the crowd, proving they can not only perform from their own musical catalog, but switch things up a bit for fans by performing songs from their favorite artists as well (not that they needed to).

DruHill fans packed Hwood Casino. Casino photo.

Worth mentioning:  If you only heard the show, and could not see it, you would have sworn they were accompanied by a live band.  The sound was just that good with a DJ spinning that DruHill background sound.

SisQo tweeted after the show - "WV was so live last night! Big shout out to those who packed the house! AC UP NEXT!"

The group is headed next to Atlantic City for an August 17th showing.  (We highly recommend you see it).  For the group's remaining tour dates, click here.

The concert was bought to us in part by WHUR radio who always brings great R&B artists to DC.

Thank you both to WHUR and DruHill for giving us great R&B live performances!

Also note worthy.
Speaking of great R&B groups, we would be remiss if we did not mention that another fine R&B group that performed in our area this past weekend.

Jagged Edge performed this past Saturday night at the infamous DC Howard Theatre, along with Jon B.
Looks like male R&B groups are re-emerging to bring back what has been missing in music for far too long!
