The Next Movement at Eastside Cannery
The Next Movement is one of the groups I had heard about when I first arrived to Vegas, so I knew that I wanted to checked them out. It just so happened that my girlfriends called to say I should come out with them to see The Next Movements show that night at the Eastside Cannery. I live the closest, so I headed over to secure a table for us and found that the room was pretty much full and I was forced to grab a table to the right of the stage and which was up against the wall. Although it wasn’t the best view for experiencing The Next Movement for the first time, I wasn’t going to let this stop me from enjoying the show and moving around if I felt like it. As the show started I decided since I brought my review journal with me that I would take notes, pictures and videos of the night’s experience.
As I stated, the room was fairly full by the time I arrived at around 8:30pm. It was an older crowd, who seemed to wholeheartedly enjoy the music and did not hesitate to get on the dance floor throughout the night. The Next Movement shared a variety of genres from the Classics in R&B, Soul and Blues with some more current pop songs. It appears that The Next Level knows their audiences well, and catered to what the crowd clearly enjoyed. Performing the Classics, “Used To Be My Girl” by The O’Jays, “Love’s In Need Of Love Today” by Stevie Wonder, “Choosey Lover” by The Isley Brothers, and “Single Life” by Cameo just to name a few.
Sam Thomas Jr of The Next Movement is very engaging of the audience and you can tell he is a seasoned entertainer, knowing how to keep the energy high along with his music brothers, Cornell Haywood and Earl Shelby. Together they display such beautiful harmony showing that they truly are professionals and main objective is to give a great show.
In doing a little research on this group, I see that they were established going back to the early 70’s back in Chicago’s South Side. Now as a regular fixture to a variety of casino’s in Vegas, they also tour and wow their audiences from near and far.
