Thurs, April 7, Avant

Sacramento has had a wealth of R&B shows lately, with Marsha Ambrosius, Melanie Fiona, Dwele and Goapele all reaching our fair city. Like others, Myron Avant falls into the school of seduction, and records love soundtracks for the midnight hour. The singer’s most recent disc, 2010’s The Letter, features self-explanatory titles like “Body Police” and “Your Body Is the Business.” Past hits like “Separated” and “My First Love” should bring ladies to the front, with significant others either holding tightly to their waists or standing in the back of the room, staring icily at Avant. Don’t hate the player. 1616 J Street, www.avantofficial.com.
