Do U know 90s Prince?
September 20 @ 12:00 am - September 21 @ 12:00 am
Join us on September 20–21, 2025 (Saturday–Sunday) for #Shhh30, a *VIRTUAL* symposium celebrating the 30th anniversary of Prince’s The Gold Experience and The NPG’s Exodus.
The Gold Experience captures Prince at a creative crossroads. Released in 1995 during his battle with Warner Bros., it was the first album to bear his new name: the unpronounceable symbol, o(+>. Exodus, also released in 1995, is an album filled with deep cuts from Prince’s band, the New Power Generation AKA the NPG, with Prince performing incognito as the mysterious Tora Tora.
