disappointing Sunday as festivities for Fair St. Louis were

cancelled due to inclement weather. Which I wouldn’t have minded

much if I didn’t know that soul crooner

“mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;”>P.J. Morton was set to

open for Maroon 5. As soon as I heard he was coming, I couldn’t get

to Dress Barn fast enough. So you can imagine my disappointment

when the concert was cancelled (yet relieved that I didn’t get my

hair wet, as I was without my emergency Schnucks bag). So as I wept

over my Sweetie Pies chicken plate, I took to Twitter and saw that

PJ was workin’ on tryin’ to secure an alternate venue to play. I

never have seen such a collective effort from The Lou behind such a

venture. It was so much back and forth… if, when, and where Morton

would be playin’, I almost went into a conniption. Once it was said

that he will be headin’ to Lola, I quickly threw on my

Chaka-Khan-pantsuit-cape outfit just to let the girls know that I’m

nothin’ to be played with. With a few flaps of my cape, I entered

Lola only to find it lookin’ a lot like Christmas (if you know what

I mean). I silently smirked to myself as I awaited the masses to

gag when they find out they were not in store for an intimate night

with Adam Levine.  When the

six piece band took their places, a collective uproar resulted.

Decked in a simple denim jacket, white shirt, and black framed

glasses that have become his signature, PJ Morton appeared ready to

take us on a deliriously infectious groove. Goin’ through his

signatures like “Don’t Ever Leave,” “Blah, Blah,Blah,” and “The

One” while even hittin’ some covers like Drake’s “Find Your Love,”

The Chi-Lites “Have You Seen Her” and a few theme songs like Golden

Girls “Thank You For Being A Friend” and Cheer’s “Where Everybody

Knows Your Name” Morton thrilled. With a band that was seemingly in

rare form with an impromptu duet from

tease, Morton was sure to give show that gave St. Louis a night

hard to forget.
