WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30th - NOTE NEW SUPPORT ACT ADDED!!!!
A night of fresh beats, sweet soul, super funk, dirty blues, sweet rhymes
and positive vibes

N'DEA DAVENPORT
>From her days as a session singer ( rememeber that steamy refrain on
Tone-Loc's herb anthem "Cheeba Cheeba") to her dynamic role as the voice
of the Brand New Heavies, N'Dea proved herself uniquely funkly gifted.
This year she's more than come into her own with the release of her debut
album in June via V2 and a number of fresh live performances.

"a perfect mix of R&B, funk, and blues" VIBE
'fluid, funky, emotive" CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"For anyone who doubted that N'Dea was the heart and soul of her former
group, Brand New Heavies, this night silenced all doubts...It was
impossible not to be seduced by the new material..." LA WEEKLY
"Real stuff...in an era of cutie pies mouthing what the m,en in the
boardrooms tell them to coo" XXL

and Mos Def and Talib Kweli are BLACK STAR

With their debut album out in stores the night before this show, this
should be a very special night from the boys from BK. Def and Kweli are
undeniably two voices which need to be heard by all. Def has gained
recognition for guest spots with De La Soul, DJ Krush, Towa Tei. DJ
Honda, A Tribe Called Quest and his blow up singles "The Universal
Magnetic" and "Body Rock." Kweli has had his own share of success his act
Reflection Eternal. Together as Black Star this duo take it to the next
level.

Mos Def also makes a special appearance on the second hot new single
"Bullshittin'" from N'Dea so look out for a guest spot from Mos in N'Dea
set.
