When Prince passed away last year, he was eulogized by artists the world around — and one of the most devoted voice was from Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, drummer and bandleader of The Roots. Quest was a fan from a young age, and as he wrote in Rolling Stone essay last April, “I patterned everything in my life after Prince.”
September 16, Questlove leads a loving tribute to the Purple One at the 2017 N2N Festival (Neighborhood to Neighborhood), and the performers joining him are no joke: Prince collaborators Morris Day and Sheila E. will take the stage at the free concert along with a rising rap sensation from Germantown, PnB Rock. The event, which takes place Saturday, September 16th, is basically a huge block party in West Philly between 49th and 51st Streets, stretching from Willows to Catherine with its nexus at at 50th and Baltimore.
Admission is free, but you have to RSVP, so do that here and get more information on N2N here.
