The Purple Ones w/ Michael Jackson vs. Prince DJ Set (FREE PRINCE TRIBUTE CONCERT)
Advertisement
Join us Sunday, August 16, for a free concert in St. James Park: The Purple Ones and Kev Choice Ensemble for a special Prince vs. Michael Jackson Tribute.
Partnered with SV Pride.
When the Bay Area’s premier Prince tribute meets Oakland’s resident musical polymath, the result is a high-voltage celebration of funk, soul, and pure artistry. The Kev Choice Ensemble joins forces with The Purple Ones for a night that honors the past while pushing the sound of the future.
Expect a seamless fusion where the intricate funk of the "Purple Army" meets the modern, genre-bending brilliance of the Kev Choice Ensemble. This is a celebration of rhythm, community, and the enduring legacy of the funk.
Food trucks on site: Saigon Truck #2 and Takoz Mod Mex. Beer and wine available.
