Beginning next Thursday, July 9th, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center will be hosting another Sounds of the City weekly outdoor concert summer series.  Kicking off this year’s Sounds of the City will be the Rhythm Revue Dance Party with Felix Hernandez.  The live classic soul, funk, and disco radio show is in its 29th year airing on the radio.  Rhythm Revue has been recognized as the “Best Radio Show in New York” by New York Magazine and The Village Voice.

The following week, none other than Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic will hit the stage to perform their hits including “Flashlight” and “Atomic Dog”.  This particular performance will be in partnership with Newark Pride.
