The newly renovated 595 North played host to an intimate concert featuring the flawless vocals of Marsha Ambrosius (formerly of Floetry), a surprise appearance by Mario, who’s hit ”Cryin'” made the ladies scream for more, and the featured act, Common.
He executed classics like “I Used to Love H.E.R.” and “Come Close,” while debuting songs from his upcoming album, Universal Mind Control. In between the scripted songs, he also flowed into a crowd-pleasing freestyle that encouraged concert-goers to vote for change. The event was sponsored by Lincoln.

The evening was stellar and Common ripped it, for real! Marsha took the first leg and her voice is delicate yet powerful. I truly enjoyed her performance. 595 is an intimate venue. Very similar to Smith's Olde Bar, if any of you are familiar then you can catch my vibe on the cozy character this place has.
