Your Prince soundtrack April 20-22
April 19, 2018

The Current is celebrating the life and legacy of Prince through music. As we approach two years since we lost the local legend, we will honor his musical contributions with a weekend packed with purple.
This weekend from Friday to Sunday at midnight, our new Purple Current stream will go all-Prince for 72 hours straight. You'll learn something from our "deep dive" playlists and you're very nearly guaranteed to hear your favorite Prince of all time.
On-air on Saturday, April 21, we are playing Prince all day with hour-long dives into his best guitar solos, chart hits, family tree and more. With a special nod to Record Store Day, at 4 p.m. CT, Jill Riley will play 2 hours of Prince on vinyl.
Online, thecurrent.org will continue to post Prince-related features and special content from Celebration 2018, Prince: Live on the Big Screen and more.
