Raheem DeVaughn returns to the region he helped shape, taking The Birchmere stage Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Love King slides between satin falsetto and conversational croon, folding DC soul and a hint of go-go pocket into modern R&B. Backed by a tight rhythm section and lush keys, he stretches favorites like Customer and Woman into extended, slow-blooming suites with room for crowd call-and-response.
