High fiving fans as soon as he hit the stage Cody ChestnuTT kicked off his show Saturday night with That's Still Mama.  It's motown feel and a bit of an extended jam session rendition this Landing on a Hundred track set the mood for rest the show. Seamlessly seguing from the first jam into the second, ChestnuTT told fans "It's good to be back San Francisco" and the crowd's warm welcome and friendly reply let him know it was good to have him back.





Garnering more cheers leading into Till I Met Thee, the retro army helmet clad soulful R& B crooner continued: "For those of you who don't know me, I'm Cody ChestnuTT (applause) and I would like to introduce you to my new album (applause) and this (motioning to the band on stage with him) is the original band who did the album" (applause).

ChestnuTT's fans were just as up-beat and positive as his charismatic performance both of which illuminated the small club with smiles and filled it with groovy moves.

 

Still touring in support of his 2012  LP, Landing on a Hundred the seemingly underlining politically charged set consisted mostly of those new tracks and was up beat, positive, engaging and smooooth the whole way through.
