The Orange County native Aloe Blacc kicked off his Coachella set with the “I Need a Dollar” single on Friday.
It was a good call.
What started as a packed Mojave tent crowd for the soulful singer/songwriter/rapper was soon overflowing out into the sunny exterior — the place was hopping by the time he hit his other two biggest hits, “The Man” and Avicii collaboration “Wake Me Up.”
Blacc is a pretty fun live act, but it’s the full band behind him — including a knockout trumpet and tenor saxophone player — that made it a worthwhile stop.
Plus, who else does videos like this?
