Dave,
Maseo and Posdnuos comprise the legendary group of hip-hop
forefathers De La Soul.
In 1989 they burst onto the scene with "Me, Myself and
I" off the album 3 Feet High and Rising, one of
the genre's best records ever. In a career spanning over
a decade, De La has created a list of LPs, EPs and singles
that line record crates from LA to the UK. Timeless:
the Singles Collection, De La Soul's newest album,
includes some of the best A-side tracks from the years
gone by. De La plays at the McDonald Theatre. See Monday
Calendar.
Alberta
Adams, Detroit's Queen of the
Blues, will perform at the Vet's Club Ballroom. Adams,
on tour to promote her new CD recorded with her touring

1920s in Indianapolis, Adams has since performed with
greats Duke Ellington, Eddie Vinson and T-Bone Walker.
