6 Degrees of Prince: Listening Party

Sunday, August 30 · 3–6 PM · The Faight Collective, 473A Haight St, SF · $15 at the door

This is not a tribute night. This is a deep dive.

6 Degrees of Prince traces the purple thread running through four decades of music — the songs Prince wrote under secret names, the artists he built from scratch, and the sound of Minneapolis that’s still echoing through everything you listen to today. Some connections you know. Most, you don’t. That’s the fun.

Come chat, come listen, come get schooled by two people who live this music.

Your Hosts

Nero Nava — aka DJ Godfather Dracula (yes, Prince named him that)

Nero isn’t a Prince fan. He’s a Prince expert — a man who knew Prince personally and has spent years interviewing the artists, collaborators, and inner-circle members of Prince’s camp for his podcast, I Want You to Know.

🎧 Want proof? Hear Nero in conversation with Michael Bland, drummer of the New Power Generation: Listen on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6MG7LIrPlE6KmkvPH91Wpu?si=7e205721ffed4611)

He’s the guest host who can tell you not just what happened, but what it was like in the room. Ask him anything. Seriously.

DJ Boom Bostic

Your host and selector for the afternoon, digging deep into the catalog — the hits, the B-sides, the songs you didn’t know were Prince until today.
