A Brief History of NPG and “Celebrating Prince”
The reunion of former members of the New Power Generation (NPG) - including a number of those in the original configuration - was born out of the official Prince Tribute concert in October 2016. Their intent: to honor their boss, their mentor, and his music. Thus, the birth of a tour to pay homage to Prince was underway.
Respecting the music is the philosophical approach that guides the musicians. Few other artists are known to have the work ethic that was a defining characteristic of Prince. He was a consummate live performer and his concerts were legendary for their tight arrangements, stellar sound and electrifying pace.
The configuration of the band occasionally changes but always with NPG alumni making up the majority of the group, led by Prince's former Musical Director and longtime keyboard player Morris Hayes.
