This Friday! http://www.mrsonnyjames.com/archives/723 http://www.mrsonnyjames.com/archives/723#comments Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:40:41 +0000 Sonny James http://www.mrsonnyjames.com/?p=723 This past couple of days in Philly has been a lot of fun.  Walnut Room felt real good and we kept the vibe going til the very end of the party.  Mark De Clive Lowe and Lady Alma tore things down at The Sundae Party. It was great to see them rock together since I hadn’t seen either one of them perform in years. Last night Hezekiah and I opened for John Forte who was released from a Federal Prison 7 months ago after serving a portion of his 14 year sentence. For any of you who can’t remember why that name sounds so familar, John was a part of the Refugee Camp and helped out with the Fugees The Score album which sold over 18 million copies. He has a new project which just came out recently. His performance was acoustic and really ill. He still sounds just as good as he did years ago if not better. (To peep one of John’s latest interviews, click here.)

This Friday, The BODYROCK returns to the Arts Garage after a hiatus for a few months. I will be in the house for the later portion of the night since I’ll be at Fluid earlier DJing with Joey Blanco and DJ Aktive (SMC) for my man Bunmi’s birthday party. Bunmi has been the homie for years and was instrumental in producing The Duplex party we did at the Arts Garage a couple years back when the venue first opened. We’ll be going across the board musically all night and it’s gonna be a stone groove so don’t miss it.

Finally, did y’all know Swizz Beats is an ill mixed media artist?!?!?  I just found this out.  Word to all the other multi-talented folks out there.  I actually collect art from musicians. Gotta get my dollas up for one of his pieces.
