Tessanne Chin Brings the Heat into SOB's

ROCK with Squeeze fans didn't let the frigid temperature outside stop them from coming out to have a good time last Monday night.

Comedian Freddie Ricks jumped off the special comedy portion of the night by having a little fun with the audience.

Next he introduced a friend and fellow comedian AG White. He caught the audience off guard for a minute since they didn't expect him, but it only took a few minutes for the crowd to realize that the "old white man had jokes," as he would say.

Brooklyn's own, comedian Caliese, closed out the comedy portion of the show with a few of his own Caribbean jokes, and had the crowd rolling with his special patois imitations.

French singer Ilhane returened to the ROCK with Squeeze stage to sing for us again. Don't let her tiny body fool you, this girl has a voice!

Finally, Tessanne Chin came out to a roar of applause as the crowd showed their appreciation for her showing up. Not only was she here on a freezing New York night, she also had lost her grandfather earlier in the day, yet still had the courage to brave a crowd.

But oh were we glad she did! Tessanne's souful voice was powerful and on point, and the crowd loved singing along as she belted out "Messenger" and "Hideaway," just to name a few.


As always, Monday nights are always better when you ROCK with Squeeze at SOB's. Don't miss next week when we have special guests Voicemail and Anthony Malvo!

And you thought it couldn't get any better...

Well it has! After last Monday there's no excuse in the world to miss another Rock with Squeeze.With each passing week Rock with Squeeze continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. Even when it seemed like we couldn't top ourselves, we did. It was an amazing site to see how the turnout has doubled, maybe even tripled, in only a few weeks at SOB's.

The excitement was in the air early on as the crowd eagerly anticipated the lineup we had in store, but of course at Rock with Squeeze there are always more surprises.

A new young and gifted group called Under the Rasta Influence made their Rock with Squeeze debut to open the show up.

When the immensely talented men of L.U.S.T. came together they definitely brought some lust to the ladies. The sound of their voices joining together in sweet harmony was enough to send shivers down your spine.

Topping that would've been hard for anyone else, but we had the perfect answer to that. Last minute surprise addition Serani drove the volume up even more when he jumped on stage to perform his hits "No Games" and newest single "Mama Still Hungry."

And of course we love surprises, and we had a very special one in mind for the ladies. Singing sensation Ghost jumped on stage to tease the ladies with a brief serenade, just enough to have us all wanting more. We won't have to wait long because Ghost will be returning to finish what he started at a future Rock with Squeeze so stay tuned for the announcement.


Assassin's performance seemed more like a full blown concert as he performed a medley of his biggest hits, including "Idiot Ting Dat," "Guide and Protect Me," and "Hotter than Her." His performance was high-energy from start to finish and he proved that he wasn't afraid to get hot and sweaty, (and at times straight-up raunchy), much to the delight of all his lady fans in the audience.

Kevin Lyttle closed things out bringing some excitement of his own, as he performed "Turn Me On," and his new tune "Anywhere."



But of course, we're not done! Join us at SOB's next week as dancehall duo Tanto Metro and soulful singer Jadine hit the stage. Stay tuned for any additional announcements later in the week.
