Get ready, Detroit — we’re bringing the funk to Midtown! 🎶✨
Join us Tuesday, November 25th at 6PM as we welcome Seth Neblett for a celebration of Mothership Connected: The Women of Parliament-Funkadelic.
We’re also excited to have Veronica Johnson, a Detroit-born music writer whose work has appeared in Metro Times, Real Detroit Weekly, Model D, The Michigan Historical Review, and The Jazz Line. She currently writes for Jazz Times and brings a rich perspective on music, culture, and Detroit’s legacy.
And here’s what Rickey Vincent — author of Funk: The Music, The People, and The Rhythm of the One — had to say about the book:
“Legendary P-Funk singer Mallia Franklin’s one and only son, Seth Neblett, tells the tale of the women of Parliament-Funkadelic in the only way a funk-tale can be told: raw and real and in the pocket. This insider’s account shines a light on that female funk that has always been a part of the P-Funk Experience. Through it all, Mothership Connected does justice to the power these women possessed, and the outrageous pressures they were under, as foot soldiers on the front lines of the P-Funk Army.”
If you love music history, Detroit culture, or anything P-Funk, this night is for you. Pull up, vibe with us, and grab your copy! 🚀💫
