In this electrifying episode of Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley, Kirk Johnson—drummer for Prince and creative force behind Funky Bald Heads—opens up about his evolution from sideman to frontman. Recorded in 2001, this rare conversation dives into touring with Prince, crafting Emancipation, launching Kitchen Records, and forging a bold new sound. A must-listen for fans of funk, independence, and the Minneapolis music legacy.

🎙️ Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley features legendary and emerging funk, R&B, and Prince-associated artists. On air since 1982 and now spanning five decades, the show was personally spotlighted by Prince on his website in 2004. He also gifted us the One Nite Alone box set in 2002 — before any other media outlet.
