Get ready for Mary J. Blige.
The reigning Queen of Hip-Hop Soul — who has won nine Grammy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, four American Music Awards, 12 NAACP Image Awards and 12 Billboard Music Awards while selling millions upon millions of records during her phenomenal career — has two shows scheduled for Northern California.
Mary J. Blige hits San Francisco first, bringing her For My Fans Tour with Ne-Yo and Mario to Chase Center on March 7. One night later, she sets up shop at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
And we’d totally understand why fans might be tempted to actually see both shows, given that Mary J. Blige has long ranked as one of the genre’s most powerful performers.
Plus, we expect great setlists on both nights, filled with such classic Mary J. Blige cuts as “Family Affair,” “Real Love,” “You Remind Me,” “Not Gon’ Cry,” “Just Fine,” “Everything,” “Be Without You” and, best of all, “No More Drama.”
