The Love Hard Tour: Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, & more
~~~~~~~~
Keyshia Cole
Before R&B singer Keyshia Cole was headlining her own world tours, she was enlisted as a supporting act for such major stars as Nelly, R. Kelly, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. However, even as an opening act, Keyshia had audiences transfixed. She continued to release hit songs like "I Changed My Mind," "(I Just Want It) To Be Over," "Love," "Let It Go," "Trust" (a duet with Monica), and "Take Me Away," and, as a result, Keyshia garnered a legion of her own fans worldwide, all eagerly lining up for tickets to watch her perform LIVE. Fans and critics regularly praise the stylish diva's concerts not only for her vocal chops and dance skills, but for the way she's able to emotionally connect with the audience on a deep level. This two-way exchange is enhanced by the fact that the star's personal struggles were made public by her decision to star in her own BET reality TV show "Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is"--a brave move for any artist. Among her biggest influences, she cites the likes of Anita Baker, Faith Evans, Brandy and Mary J. Blige.

Trey Songz
Singer and actor Trey Songz picked up the R&B lothario mantle from Usher in the mid-00s with a seductive and suggestive sound that spawned multiple chart-toppers, gold-selling albums and Grammy nominations. The double threat has further cemented his loverman reputation on the stage with headline tours, such as 2017's Tremaine, 2015's Bittersweet and 2012's Gotta Make It, as well as joint treks with Ne-Yo and Chris Brown. Beefing up his catalogue of US Hot 100 hits with a full live band, the Trey Songz live experience provides plenty of passion, raunch and opportunities to bump and grind.

Jaheim
Hailing from the projects of New Jersey, rapper-turned-R&B singer Jaheim promotes a message of appreciation in his soul-fueled slow jams. On 2013's Appreciation Day, Jaheim expresses his appreciation for beautiful women, but the real object behind the album's title are the fans that propelled his last five albums to the Top Five of the Billboard R&B Albums chart. With lead single "Age Ain't A Factor," the singer declares that his gratitude is equal opportunity - the music video features Vivica A. Fox as the song's aging, but still beautiful, subject. Jaheim's passionate odes to life and love have earned him three Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Album for 2010's Another Round and Best R&B Song for hit single "Finding My Way Back." Ticket buyers are also appreciative, showering Jaheim with rave reviews of his gospel-influenced live shows on 2013's Appreciation Tour and eagerly awaiting his upcoming performances with R&B songstress Chrisette Michele.
