Billy Prince @ Southpaw Sat Mar 27

I'm playing with Billy Prince of The Precisions tomorrow Mar 27 @ Southpaw. What a voice!

Instead of the usual Sweet Divines opening set we're having a multitude of guest singers. The rehearsal was a blast so I'm really looking forward to the show.

The lineup on Sat is:
Saturday, March 27

And some history on The Precisions:

"The Precisions were a vocal group formed by Arthur Ashford, Michael Morgan and Dennis Gilmore on the Motor City's west side, a neighborhood mecca for much of the city's R&B talent as well as the site of its densest aggregation of recording studios.

With a few obscure mid-'60s singles on the prolific Detroit soul and R&B label D-Town already to their name, the Precisions would go on to add young college student Billy Prince as a lead vocalist in 1967. This selection, the debut release of the reconfigured group, would be the first of five Precisions records on Drew Records, a label whose discography, as it turns out, only included other Precisions records."
