string(1729) "Considering that he doesn't fit neatly into one genre, the many songs he's written for other people, and the sheer size of his catalog, B-sides and all, where do we even begin? Prince—the virtuosic musician, the cult film hero, the strident defender of artistic freedom—isn't easy to assess in one sentence or a two hour session. Nevertheless, The R&B Club is up for one its greatest challenges to date: looking back at Prince's career.
Realistically, we could spend two hours just talking about Purple Rain. We're going to talk about his pen for sure, because so many artists benefited from it. And we're definitely going to discuss what an amazing guitar player he was, because that might actually get overlooked in the grand scheme of it all. Prince was arguably the most versatile artist of his era. Sonically, he dared to imagine the millennium during the early 1980s. He soundtracked Spike Lee and Batman films. And he reinvented himself constantly: the weirder he got, the better.
Join us at Songbyrd on Sunday, June 11, from 12-2pm. Tickets are $15 ($20 at the door) and you'll want to buy yours ASAP, because we have a feeling they'll go quickly. We've been waiting to do this for a while and figured the week he would've turned 65 is the right time.
***
The R&B Club is a cultural group founded in 2018 by music aficionado Ashley-Dior Thomas, entrepreneur and writer Marcus K. Dowling, award-winning writer Julian Kimble, and critically-acclaimed author and journalist Justin Tinsley to celebrate the legacy of soul music. In other words, think of it as a musical book club. For our fifth year, we'll be doing a different theme every month. Follow us on social media at @therandbclubdc for more."

string(785) "Since deep in the pandemic, when live shows were obsolete, Houseparty Presents has been building. Houseparty is a grassroots, travel based operation focused on one thing- helping the community. Benefit shows featuring local independent artists with all fund’s going straight to the local homeless community. Hell yeah!! Houseparty Presents has worked with 54 independent musicians on and off stages across the country. The driving force behind this operation is the fact that anyone can become homeless at any time. Many people want to help but don’t know how so we make it simple- come to a show with really good, live music. Sunday, June 18th we are beyond stoked to show Washington DC just what we’re all about!- Battling homelessness with bands and coming to a city near you!"
