She is scheduled to do two sets on Saturday, one at 6:30pm and the other at 9pm. And again on Sunday; one at 3pm and the other at 6:30pm. Tickets and additional information are available on Blue Note’s website.

One of the greatest Motown and R&B/funk groups of all time, The Commodores, will be doing back-to-back shows at Blue Note – 2335 Kalakaua Avenue – in Honolulu, Hawaii this Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Starting time is 6pm, while showtime is 8pm each night.

The Commodores was formed in 1968 and went on to sell over 60 million records for Motown after being discovered by Berry Gordy. With hits like “Machine Gun” and “Sail On,” they became proven artists and have remained a force in the music industry. Get tickets here.
