This tour will introduce his brand new, all-female backing band, 3RDEYEGIRL, featuring acclaimed Canadian guitarist Donna Grantis, Danish bass guitarist Ida Nielsen and Kentucky-native drummer Hannah Ford.
3RDEYEGIRL recently made their national television debut on NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, in which Prince and the band performed his newly released song Screwdriver and classic tune Bambi.
Rolling Stone has named Prince "one of the world's greatest guitarists," and 3RDEYEGIRL is already turning critics' heads. Says Sticky Magazine of guitarist Donna Grantis: "the full impact of Grantis is her live performance: the interaction with other musicians onstage, the improvisational wizardry and the sheer passion that can be felt." The Current raves about Ida Nielsen and drummer Hannah Ford: "Nielsen and Ford prove to be a powerhouse rhythm section." Guitar Center echoes of Ford: "From the moment the show opens until it closes, you will feel the excitement and power of Hannah's assault on her drum kit."

Finally, a Trannyshack MJ Tribute on a stage fit for a King!
We continue our series of superstar tribute nights with a salute to one of the most talented and tormented artists to ever walk (or, Moonwalk) the planet. Almost a year after his death, the man who cut a larger swathe across the cultural landscape than you or I ever will is still being mourned... but this will not be a sad affair, we are going to put on an extravaganza worthy of the King of Pop's memory!
