**Throughout the concert Mr. Mo’ moved the listener from one emotion to another,
from happy to sad, from pleasant memories to painful ones. And the audience stayed
with him on the journey.**

Keb’ Mo’ brought his tour to Upstate New York’s Finger Lakes region on Sunday, June
16. Along with Phillip-Michael Scales, Keb’ Mo’ treated the Father’s Day crowd to
a pleasing mix of jazz, blues, folk, pop, and a little rock ‘n’ roll thrown in as
well.

Mr. Mo’ was in good form and the audience appreciated his interaction with them.
He in turn told them they made him feel so at home he might just stay a while and
maybe move here. Naturally, the audience cheered at the suggestions.

Tunes like “Somebody Hurt You,” “Sunny And Warm,” and the tongue-in-cheek “Government
Cheese” were obvious crowd pleasers. “This Is My Home,” a tale of immigrants – both
voluntary and involuntary – provided a thought-provoking moment rewarded with loud
applause.

“Shave Yo Legs” was an endearing song about accepting someone just the way they 
are. “Good To Be (Home Again)” resonated with many in the over-60 crowd who were
there in large numbers.

“I Remember You” was about a not-so-fondly remembered one-night stand. Throughout
the concert Mr. Mo’ moved the listener from one emotion to another, from happy to
sad, from pleasant memories to painful ones. And the audience stayed with him on
the journey.

Although it was Father’s Day, the ladies in the audience received the greatest love
when he sang “Put A Woman In Charge.” Women throughout the audience stood up to 
whoop, holler, and dance during the song – and more than a few men cheered with 
them. “This Is Where I Belong,” “Life Is Beautiful,” and “Everything I Need” were
just a few of the additional songs performed by Mr. Mo’. Unfortunately he did not
perform one of my favorites, “Soon As I Get Paid,” the one in which he has the IRS
addressing him as Mr. Mo’.

Phillip-Michael Scales opened the concert for Keb’ Mo’ and was just as engaging 
with the audience. His half-hour set included “Be My Own Man” about what he termed“
a post break-up situation,” “Shame,” Find A Way,” and “My Oh My.” Between songs 
talked to the audience, an ever-present smile beaming on his face. He talked about
his family history, his love of coffee, and – somewhat tongue-in-cheek – about the
merchandise he had for sale and which allows him to continue to pursue his passion
for music.

Point of the Bluff is a vineyard, winery and concert venue situated on a bluff overlooking
Keuka Lake just north of Hammondsport, NY. The grounds include a spacious picnic
area (although you have to purchase food and drink on site), a pavilion, and a tented
stage with seating area.

Keb’ Mo’ and Phillip-Michael Hall both will be on tour – together and separately–
through the summer.
