Prince’s Side of the Street
April 28 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
By the time Prince was 18, he was a fully realized and accomplished artist who could walk into the Sound 80 studio in Minneapolis’s Seward neighborhood and write, produce, record, sing, and perform all the instruments on his demo tape, and then land a major recording contract by the time he was 19. How did the Minneapolis community he grew up in and the Great Migration which brought Prince’s ancestors to Minnesota influence his childhood and shape the artist he became? Archaeologist and historian Kristen Zschomler will help us gain a better understanding of this iconic singer songwriter musician.
