John Legend & The Legendary Roots Crew Invade Brooklyn Bowl for a Special, Secret Concert

Thursday, June 17

Brooklyn Bowl is proud to announce an amazing secret show by John Legend & The Roots on Thursday, June 17th.  John Legend and The Roots have recently been collaborating often in promotion of their new collaborative covers album Wake Up–inspired by the Arcade Fire song–but actually made up of classic Soul B-Sides by Roberta Flack, Donnie Hathaway, Nina Simone, and Marvin Gaye.  The album will serve as a companion to the Roots’ forthcoming album, How I Got Over.  This is one of the most exciting events we’ve put together since our opening, so stay tuned for more info about Twitter and Facebook contests and ticket giveaways early next week
