There aren’t many Tampeños who know more about Prince than Gabe Echazabal.

Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s senior music correspondent frequently mentions The Purple One in his “Today In Rock History” column, and he’ll infuse all his love for the Minneapolis musical genius into a DJ set at this gig, which is one of four annual fundraisers for Tampa’s long-running Tempus Projects art nonprofit.

Also on tap is karaoke, a supergroup of locals from the bands Zutes, Moonthing and Spoonmen who’ll cover songs by the late icon, and a photobooth run by CL senior photographer Dave Decker. Ruffled shirts are welcome as partygoers gather to support the 16-year-old Tempus Projects.

Tickets for Tempus Projects’ Prince Party happening Saturday, June 7 at the Kress Collective in Ybor City are still available and start at $20.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
