The Hardest-Working-Man-In-Showbiz returns to bless us again with a 3 hour DJ Set

If you missed his Michael Jackson and James Brown tribute sets featuring originals, remakes, and sampled tracks (each a not-at-all tiresome 3 hours a piece), you missed a serious schooling.

Check the resume:

- Nucleus of THE best band in the game
- Bandleader on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
- Bandleader for Jay Z's legendary "Fade To Black" Madison Square Garden sell-out show
- Producer (D'angelo, Erykah Badu, Common, Al Green, Joss Stone)
- currently doing media rounds as a musical historian on behalf of the new Soul Train documentary, in which he appears


Expect to be educated once again!
