Tasha Denae and backups dance in formation

 Tonight Amanda had the privilege to cover the Trey Songz concert at Verizon Event Pavilion at Headwaters Park downtown. I received a text from her at about 8 p.m. begging me for help because her camera battery had died (RIP, until you are charged again…). I went to save the day and stayed for the show. MY OWN battery died before Trey Songz himself showed up an hour late (go figure), but I got some pictures of the opening act, Tasha Denae.

We got to stand up in front of the barricade and we thought we were safe — we were wrong.

The second Trey Songz came out, the ear-piecing screams came from the crowd and I realized the whole pavilion was full of screaming girls. People were hanging over the barricade, I was smashed against the speaker (so I am experiencing delayed hearing now) AND I have never heard such shrieking until Trey Songz took his shirt off. I think the Phoenix rover on Mars picked up the sound waves coming from Fort Wayne tonight. Check out Amanda Junk’s complete account of the evening in tomorrow’s paper and in another post where you can see Trey Songz photos.
