Sunday, January 19: R&B fans will be in heaven when 7-time Grammy nominee, singer, songwriter and record producer, JOE, brings his catalog of chart-topping R&B smash hits to the stage at the Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady Event Center. A self-described “country boy” born in South Georgia and raised in Alabama, JOE learned to play the guitar and piano while developing his vocal skills in church. After relocating to New Jersey in pursuit of a musical career, he notched his first R&B top 10 for Mercury Records in 1993 with “I’m in Luv”. JOE hit his stride in the mid-‘90s with the R&B and pop crossover smash “All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do),” and in the 2000’s sealed his reputation as an R&B superstar with a string of hits including “All That I Am,” “I Wanna Know,” and “No One Comes Close”. JOE’s memorable collaborations with Mariah Carey (“Thank God I Found You”), Big Pun (“Still Not a Player”) and G-Unit (“Wanna Get to Know You”) further underscored his musical versatility. Doors open at 6 p.m., the show begins at 7 p.m. and tickets start at $40.
