The Artist's Jam Of The Year Encore Performance at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 29



Special Guest Appearance by R&B Legend Larry Graham



LAS VEGAS, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Artist," in only his second public
performance of the year, brings his "Jam of the Year -- Encore Performance"
to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in an exclusive engagement Saturday, May 29 at
8 p.m. R&B legend Larry Graham will make a special guest appearance.



"The Artist" has had 15 platinum albums, 10 gold singles and a gold video. A
living legend who continues to be a vital part of contemporary music, he has
created songs which have become the public anthem and personal statement of a
generation and his music continues to inspire a myriad of other entertainers.
While recording as Prince, he released over 20 discs, won an Academy Award,
as well as numerous Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and MTV Music
Awards. His three CD package, "Emancipation," went double platinum.



Although he has had many great songs, "The Artist" continues to create. Far
from resting on his laurels, it seems there are only new boundaries to
conquer. His Paisley Park Enterprises, based in Minneapolis, Minn., has
found innovative ways to explore use of the internet and other
non-traditional means to reach out to his fan base, and oversees the
activities of Paisley Park Retail, Love4oneanother Charities and NPG Records
("The Artist's" independent record label). His most recent release, 1999-
THE NEW MASTER, is available through retail outlets and the internet at
www.1800newfunk.com.
