Several great shows from The Mint this week, starting with week two of Barry Goldberg’s residency. The Mint, established in 1937, is a local landmark. Many music greats have not only played there, but been broke there. Stevie Wonder, Willie Dixon, Natalie Cole, Ray Charles and more have graced their stage. More recent prominent artists include Ben Harper, Macy Gray, and The Wallflowers. For more about Barry, check out our blog post here.

Hailing from Oakland, California,the group has won more MTV Video Music Awards than any other female group, along with four Soul Train Awards, six American Music Awards, and seven Grammy nominations. According to Billboard Magazine they were the 18th most successful act of the 1990s, and one of the most popular and successful female groups of all time.
Today, En Vogue is Terry Ellis, Rhona Bennett and Cindy Herron-Braggs. The name rings more than a bell. It invokes memories of a long line of red-hot R&B and pop smashes. Songs like “Hold On,” “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” “Giving Him Something He Can Feel,” “Free Your Mind,” and “Whatta Man” featuring Salt-N-Pepa, are just a sampling of the mega hits made famous by the Pop/R&B super group.
Fusing style, sophistication, sass, and sex appeal, the magical En Vogue formula went on to sell over eight million albums. In total, En Vogue recorded five albums: 1990’s “Born To Sing;” 1992’s “Funky Divas;” 1997’s “EV3;” 2000’s “Masterpiece Theatre;” and 2002’s “The Gift of Christmas.”
