[POP] The second concert in the formerly free (now $5) Canalside Live series features the iconic pop vocalist Sheila E. For many, their introduction to the Mexican-American pop star came with Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” b-side “Erotic City.” The racy, Rick James-eqsue pop song featured Sheila E. on vocals and helped to launch the multi-instrumentalist’s career. Her Warner Brothers-released albums in the 1980s and early 1990s, like The Glamorous Life and Sex Cymbal, solidified her solo career, but following those records she continued to collaborate with musicians of all kinds, from Ringo Starr to Beyonce. She has more recently contributed movie soundtracks including the D.C. superhero movies Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, playing drums. Don’t miss Shelia E. when she comes to Canalside for an outdoor concert this Thursday, June 22.
