Apollo Heats Up With Ledisi + George Clinton!


On Sunday, October 23 at 7 p.m., R&B recording sensation Ledisi returns to the legendary Apollo Theater to celebrate her new album Pieces of Me.

The Grammy-nominated singer is performing hits from her albums Lost & Found, Turn Me Loose, Soulsinger: The Revival and more. Singer/songwriter Timothy Bloom opens with a special performance.





Tuesday, October 25 at 7:30 p.m., it'll be one city under a groove in this all-star tribute to George Clinton, the "Godfather" of funk, under the musical direction of Ray Chew Live (American Idol, BET Awards, Showtime at the Apollo) and hosted by Dr. Bob Lee (WBLS). We'll celebrate George and his 50 years in the funk and soul business with an amazing variety of P-Funk friends, musical collaborators, and other guests. The evening will also commemorate the lives of Parliament/Funkadelic members no longer with us.

The tribute features Paul Shaffer, Nona Hendryx, Vernon Reid, Fab 5 Freddy, Dallas Austin, Full Force, Sheila E., Tye Tribbett and Doug E. Fresh.

For more information on both Sunday and Tuesday's performances, visit Apollo Theatre

♥ ♥ ♥ Funk + Soul + Disco House = Stash House

Greetings!
 
The subject line says it all when it comes
to the house group Stash House:  Funk +
Soul + Disco House = Stash House.
 
One more quote that sums up the group
nicely is 'the math is basic but the groove
is timeless.'
 
Catering to an audience in true appreciation
of the beauty and vibe of their music, Stash
House offers deep grooves that fans will love.
Mixed format radio shows will especially
like the 'stash sound,' as will live DJ's who
select for raves around the world!
 
Today's download features five minutes of a
trumpet in 'mute' mode, and a females vocals
saying 'take me higher / high high high.'  All
this accented by a motivational hand clap,
synthesizer and active drum beat which make
for non-stop movement on the dance floor!
