The New Power Generation, Featuring The Music of Prince

April 27, 2019
Fine Line Music Cafe

The reunion of former members of the New Power Generation (NPG) - including a number of those in the original configuration - was born out of the official Prince Tribute concert in October, 2016. Given the overwhelming response to that historic event, Morris, Sonny T, Tommy Barbarella, Tony M, Damon D, and Levi Seacer met with one of Prince's former managers to discuss an official reunion in order to bring a live celebration of Prince and his music to 'fams' throughout the world. Thus, the birth of the NPG's tour featuring the music of Prince was underway. See them perform live at Minneapolis' Fine Line Music Cafe.
