A lot of Columbus locals are aware that comedy icon Dave Chappelle lives an hour west in the small town of Yellow Springs, and if you’ve ever wanted to head over there and hang out with him, then now’s your chance. Chappelle is hosting a party called Juke Joint this weekend, featuring Frederic Yonnet & the Band w/ No Name and DJ D-Nice.
The two-day event promises some unique entertainment, according to the official description:
“Inspired by music born in the juke joints of Americas Deep South, Chappelle’s modern day Juke Joint takes you on a trip thru his personal playlist which includes tunes ranging from Coltrane to Nirvana. This real music revival is part concert, part comedy, and all-out unpredictable.”
“Chappelle serves as instigator and ultimate hype-man as renowned harmonicist Frédéric Yonnet, backed by The Band with No Name, take on legendary hip-hop DJ D-Nice. Its a Band-vs-DJ sound clash that blurs all musical lines. These virtuosos have toured with legends like Stevie Wonder and Prince, said Chappelle. Their instrumental interpretations a mix of jazz, rock, R&B, layered with hip-hop, is so electrifying, it like the capturing of lighting in a bottle.”
