If you're in the mood to have a butter-voiced elder statesman of soul make sweet, sweet love to your earholes, get thee to the Emerald Queen Casino, because late-'80s/early-'90s phenom Keith Sweat is set to perform there. There's no word on whether or not his enviable wardrobe of "Cosby sweaters" (as seen on the cover of his flawless Teddy Riley-produced debut LP Make It Last Forever) will be appearing with/on him, but it seems unlikely. At 49, odds are that Sweat will actually start sweating pretty early in the show, but the man's still got the pipes and still got the moves, and his proto-New Jack Swing material (chintzy keyboard presets aside) sounds just as groovy and sinful now as it did 23 years ago. 

[Emerald Queen Casino, 8:30 p.m., $34.40-$69.98 at Ticketmaster, 2024 E. 29th St., Tacoma, 253.594.7777]
