Copenhagen! We just got word that there will be an official after party by Prince & The NPG for the NPG Music And Art Festival.  It will be held at Amager Bio, the same place the pre-party was held on Friday.
No word on if they will be performing or not but that is how they will be closing out the first NPG Festival.-Dr.FB
Diagnosis:  Keep The Party Movin'
UPDATE!  PRINCE  WILL BE PERFORMING TONIGHT WITH PALOMA FAITH, LARRY GRAHAM, JANELLE MONAE AS WELL AS THE NPG

Here is exclusive coverage and photos of Prince and The NPG playing at the NPG Music And Arts Festival Saturday, August 6th.  These photos are stunning.  It is a shame the weather cut this show short because by photos alone, it sure looks like Prince was bringing it. 
Just shaking my head as I think of the songs he has been performing lately.  "Gold", "What's My Name" "Calhoun Square" "Mutiny" and I could go on.  The Icon could do a month of shows without doing the same song twice.  We know it.

We have a feeling that day 2 of the NPG Music And Arts Festival is going to be even more amazing with Janelle Monae, Chaka Khan, and Nikka Costa performing before Prince and The NPG take the stage to funk you up yet again. To top it off, the special guest will be Maceo Parker! Seriously, Copenhagen be shakin'.  Even in the rain, you guys stayed.  It was a downpour and Prince was still bringing it.

It is very rare that Prince takes a bad shot but the shot of Prince getting rained on along with all of these I dig.  I think we should petition the first 2 photos to be posters or something.  They are that great.

We really hope rain does not play a factor in any of the shows for day 2 of the festival especially during Prince and the NPG's closing set.
We hope you enjoy the exclusive coverage and photos of Prince and The NPG.  We don't speak for Prince or the NPG, but I am sure they thank each and every one of you for braving the weather and supporting the Festival.-Dr.FB

Here is exclusive coverage and photos of Raphael Saadiq performing at the NPG Music And Arts Festival Saturday, August 6th.
The former Tony Toni Tone front man brought the funk in his own style, and we are not talking about those pants either!  The doc is funky, but he could not pull of those pants.  Only Saadiq could.

I have only seen Saadiq perform one time and that was with a member of Earth, Wind, & Fire and Sheila E. along with Prince several years ago.  Would love to see a Raphael solo show one of these days.  Day one of the festival seems like it was incredibly funky.  Hopefully, the weather will be better for day 2.
Enjoy the photos of Raphael Saadiq performing at the NPG Music And Arts Festival.-Dr.FB

Here is exclusive coverage and photos of British-born Paloma Faith performing at the NPG Music And Arts Festival, Saturday August 6th, 2011.
The "Stone Cold Sober" singer performed in clothes that Lady Gaga will most likely be wearing in the next couple of weeks.  When Paloma is not performing, she is acting in movies such as "Dread" from 2010.

The 26-year-old Faith brought all the energy she had to the show and then some.  Her musical influences are Etta James and Billie Holiday, although I can't see Etta or Billie wearing the outfits Paloma wore.

Here are exclusive photos (exclusive til they end up all over Facebook & Twitter) of Chaka Khan performing at the NPG Music And Arts Festival day one, August 6th 2011.
Chaka did a set chockfull of hits wearing something that I guess was quite comfortable.  Her voice is what she came for and she still has the pipes.  During her set, legendary bass player Larry Graham joined her on stage to sing with her.  Larry dressed in a white suit, seemed bassless.  Oh baby brother!

The former tour mates performed for a packed and wet crowd.  We wonder if Chaka will perform with Larry on day 2 of the festival as Mr. Graham is to perform.  We wonder if he will ever come up with some Larry Graham Crackers.  I would love some of those.  I have a feeling they would be one in a million.

Ok, you know the doc loves him some Nikka Costa and to hear that she was playing at Prince's own NPG Music & Arts Festival, you know I wish I was there.  Seeing these amazing photos of her wants to see another show at the Roxy back in L.A. 
The funky white .....er.....girl rocked the festival and we hope some video footage of her ends up back to us.

I really hope you guys liked her at the Festival.  She is talent personified.  I am slightly biased, but can you blame me?  Girl, is Fonkay! 
Hope you all enjoy the photos.-Dr.FB

Before Prince kicked off his NPG Music & Arts Festival, he got funky at Armarger Bio in Denmark, where we reported he would be.  The club was saying it was going to only be the NPG band, but Prince was there the entire time.
He also brought out Nikka Costa and the legendary Chaka Khan to perform as well.  We are major jelly we were not there for that.

Prince and the NPG were having a blast at the party to celebrate the NPG Music & Arts Festival in Copenhagen.  So much so, that NPG  singer Shelby J. was crowd surfing.  Oh man!
