Maya Rudolph's Prince Cover Band (PRINCESS) Live - D.M.S.R. / Nasty Girl at Brooklyn Bowl 💜10/28/17
Maya, my love! 💜 You, Gretchen and your band did the damn thing!
SNL vet Maya Rudolph and LA singer-songwriter Gretchen Lieberum are PRINCESS, a Prince cover band. The two have been singing together since college but it was only recently that the duo turned their mutual adoration for Prince into a musical project. Born out of their collective, life-long obsession with Prince, each performance is a love letter to the Artist himself. Don't Worry, They Won't Hurt U... They Only Want U 2 Have Some Fun.
