    Concert Photos: Aloe Blacc Brings His Soulful Church of 'Love and Happiness' to the Nectar

    ​For any musician, spending more than an hour and a half onstage is an impressive feat. For the dapper Aloe Blacc and his unfairly funky backing band The Grand Scheme, keeping the sold out Nectar Lounge dancing for that length of time seemed effortless.

The man is a genius when it comes to making love songs and far ahead of anyone out currently in the pillow-talk R&B genre. I was trying to remember why they call him Al "Grits" Green and conjure up the story of h ... More >>
