McKenna Petty’s groovy bassline fills the room as The Aces kick off the night with “Jealous.”
Lead vocalist Cristal Ramirez’s rich vocals complement the bassline as she sings the lyrics to “Jealous”: “How do you walk, do you talk so cool? / Where’d you get your hair cut? / Where’d you get those tattoos?”
