R&B artist Trey Songz coming to the Dominion Arts Center May 20

by | Apr 2, 2017 | RHYTHM & SOUL

Ladies, please contain yourselves. Or don’t because I know I’m all giddy like a little teenage girl because Trey Songz is coming to Richmond to grace us with his lovely voice (and body) next month.

The R&B sensation first made his way into our hearts in 2005 with his debut album, I Gotta Make It and has been making us swoon with hits like “Love Faces”, “Can’t Help But Wait”, and “Last Time” ever since.

Originally from Petersburg, this will be a nice little homecoming of sorts for Trey Songz, who will make a stop at the Carpenter Theatre at the Dominion Arts Center as part of his “Tremaine the Tour”, which he announced last month.

The singer is promoting his seventh studio album, Tremaine the Album, which he released at the end of last month. Check out the video for “Playboy”, a single off the record released March 10 below.

Trey Songz takes the stage at Dominion Arts Center May 20 at 8 pm. Tickets are $49.50-59.50 and can be found here.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
