AIDS Memorial Quilt Dinner with Special Guest, Nhojj.
May 23, 2010
Nhojj is the first black male to win an OUTMusic award. His song “Love” won in the R&B category.
The official music video for “Love” was featured at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival Queer Lounge and it is shown on MTV and VH1. Unlike other current R&B music videos, it is the sensitive reflection of two male college students who feel a mutual attraction.
In almost a decade of creating innovative music, Nhojj has released six CDs and an Unplugged Live DVD filmed by Emmy-nominated director Bill Cote. He has performed at Lincoln Center, and toured the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.
AIDS Memorial Quilt Dinner
6 p.m. June 3 l Richard Berkley Riverfront Park
Tickets — $50 per person
The Quilt Dinner, including a performance by R&B artist Nhojj, costs $50 per plate, and all proceeds will go toward the cost of bringing in the 40 panels of the quilt and hosting this incredible display for education and remembrance. This year, Show Me Pride will donate an entire quilt (eight panels) to The Names Project as part of its ongoing outreach efforts. The Kansas City quilt panels are on display the entire weekend in the Quilt Tent on the festival grounds.
Tickets may be reserved by calling 816-974-8436 or by registering at www.gaypridekc.com.
