Wed, Sept 2, Eric Benét

Avalon Nightclub, 9 p.m., $25

Most of us only know Eric Benét as the guy who once admitted to being such a sex addict that he cheated on the woman who used to be his wife, gorgeous actress Halle Berry. Emphasis on “used to be,” because Berry eventually ditched his sorry ass and is now shacked up with an equally gorgeous French Canadian supermodel. But anyhoo, back to Benét. He’s more than a cheater, he’s also a singer of songs about cheating and other love-related topics. He had a couple of big hits in the ’90s; now he’s hitting the clubs to shill a new record. Love & Life is chock-full of smooth R&B slow jams. You know, just the kinda songs with which to seduce women who are not your wife. 805 15th Street, www.avalonsacramento.com.
