Ashanti Performs Live For Her Home Town


*All Photos By Peter Verry

You've got to love surprises. While shooting photos and video and writing a concert recap for my freelance journalism job, I was (as well as the entire town) surprised with the announcement that Glen Cove native Ashanti would be accompanying Marvin Floyd and Friends to perform a few songs for the community that she was a part of for most of her life. I must say it was a pleasant surprise to see the absolutely beautiful songstress perform songs from "Happy" to "The Way That I Love You" and more, hyped up by deejay Smooth City, in front of her home town; a community that from the reception she received, obviously adores her. Check the photos below.

***Marvin Moore of Product G&B took the stage as well, those photos are soon to come.
