Keith Sweat, long been renowned as a true master of the slow jam. He has compiled five straight #1 R&B albums, a dozen top ten R&B singles which include seven #1’s and four top-five pop singles. He began to dominate the urban music landscape with his triple-platinum debut Make it Last Forever, produced his first #1 “I Want Her”. Other #1 singles include “Make You Sweat”, “(There You Go) Tellin' Me No Again” from New Jack City, and “Why Me Baby” (featuring LL Cool J). Keith, an avid performer, has had three decades of success and continues to wow audiences.

Bell Biv DeVoe was formed in 1986 when Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe were members of the R&B group New Edition. Creating “BBD” unleashed a new voice; a fierce, provocative pop funk, sexier lyrics and vocals and overall harder sound which was revolutionary for music. They released this new sound in 1990 with Poison. The album's title track became an overnight smash, and it was followed by the equally successful "Do Me!" and the R&B hits "B.B.D. (Thought it Was Me)," "When Will I See You Smile Again?" and "Dope!".

Dru Hill, formed by high school friends Sisqo, Jazz, Nokio, and Woody, burst onto the New Jack scene in 1995 and instantly made a huge impact with their incredible and unique sound. Their self-title debut album instantly won the worlds audiences over; their first singles "Tell Me" achieved platinum status; "In My Bed" was Billboards #1 single of the year for 1997 on the R&B charts; "Never Make A Promise" became their third consecutive No. 1 and a Top 10 pop hit; gold single, "We're Not Making Love" was a Top 5 pop & R&B smash.

Their second album “Enter the Dru” produced countless hits including “How Deep is Your Love” featured in “Rush Hour”, “Tell Me”, the funky "Real Freak", and the nasty, sexy groove of "This Is What We Do" featuring Method Man. In just two years time, the group would rack up six Number 1 singles! Their countless hits validated Dru Hill as one of the world’s greatest groups in the late 1990’s. Dru hill delivers a dynamic, high-energy stage show; showcasing their musical skills as well as adding their own nifty choreography. The band is extremely excited to join the Ladies Night Out Tour!

The pioneers of the revolutionary New Jack and R&B sound have finally aligned and will share the Scottrade Center stage on October 3, 2008 at 8pm!

Prolific performers Keith Sweat, Bel Biv DeVoe and Sisqo with Dru Hill will play all their classic, ground-breaking hits in one unforgettable night!
