He’s always up to something, and last night (September 1) Justin Timberlake was in the house at Irving Plaza in New York City to present the FreeSol concert.
The “Like I Love You†singer looked to be in fine form as he sang an acoustic version of “Cry Me A River†for the enthusiastic crowd.
And yesterday was a big day for Justin’s 901 Tequila brand, as the date was 9/01 or National 901 Day and the concert began at 9:01pm.
Of the gig, Justin’s business partner Kevin Ruder told press, “Since we’re sponsoring it, it’s a 21-plus show, and that helps tremendously. We don’t have to worry about anyone too young being somewhere that we don’t want them to be. I think it will mimic both FreeSol’s style and our own style, which is geared toward a young, edgy crowd who are looking for something a little different. They’re a tremendous band, they’re young and we’ve been sponsoring them from the get go because we really like what we’re about. I think it will be that 22-35 year old crowd that likes music that’s a bit different, like urban pop with a lot of horns. It’s just a great hi-tempo show."
