The Ladies of R&B hit the Coastal Credit Union Music Park of Walnut Creek in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday, July 20, 2024. Everybody knows that Saturday night shows seem to be a bit looser and wilder than a weeknight show and this definitely was true on this night. The venue filled up rather quickly and even though there was a threat of rain from Mother Nature, it didn’t seem to faze the people in the uncovered lawn section. The show kicked off with a surprise set from Jay Michael. PSIRYN followed with a short set and then the OMG Girlz. Most of the artists performed short sets with a changeover of about ten minutes. This kept the live music flowing almost continuously. There was a dj onstage who kept things going between sets playing songs that drew incredible reactions from the crowd. There were massive sing-a-longs and most everyone was up out of their seats and dancing.

702 were up next and drew a great reaction from the crowd with such hits as “”I Still Love You” and “Steelo.” TOTAL were up next and sent the crowd back in time with their hits “Trippin” and “Sitting Home.” MYA hit the stage next and got a huge pop from the crowd with such hits as “Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are),” “Girls Dem Sugar” and “Lady Marmalade.” After her set, the headliners XSCAPE and SWV hit the stage all together to kick off the show. Instead of one band playing a full set and then the other, they would play a few songs and then go back and forth.

In all, the whole night was like a 90’s mixtape of epic female groups who seemed to dominate the airwaves for most of that decade. It was a great escape that allowed people to get all dressed up, forget their troubles and worries in their life and just party with the amazing music. Yes, Mother Nature did pour down for a short time, but the rain did not seem to affect the spirits of those in attendance. If you want to jump in the music way back machine and travel back to the 90’s to enjoy these amazing ladies then we highly encourage you to check out this show if it’s in your area.
