Instrument drive seeks to gather 100 instruments at Prince tribute concerts

The Parkway Theater in south Minneapolis will host three concert/dance nights on June 3, June 4, and June 8. "This Thing Called Life" will feature performances by original members of the New Power Generation, Tracey Blake, Julius Collins, and more.

Collins Live, organizers of the tribute concerts, have partnered with arts education advocacy nonprofit, Vega Productions,  to host a month-long musical instrument drive that will kick off at these Prince tribute shows.
