The New Power Generation

Data updated on 2025-05-01 20:14:53 UTC

The reunion of former members of the New Power Generation (NPG) was born out of the official Prince Tribute concert in October, 2016. The longest-running member of the NPG, keyboardist Morris Hayes, who also served as Prince's Musical Director for many years, was tapped to do the same job for the official tribute concert held in honor of the legendary artist. Hayes brought many of the original band members back together to serve as the house band for the epic musical celebration and the feedback from the fans was that the official tribute concert was both exhilarating and healing. Given the overwhelming response to that historic event, a number of the former NPG members met with one of Prince's former managers to discuss an official reunion. Their intent: to honor their boss, their mentor and his music. Thus, the birth of the NPG's tour featuring the music of Prince was underway.

After touring with several different guest vocalists, the band stumbled upon its official lead singer in the soulful and charismatic MacKenzie. With his incredible vocal range and commanding stage presence, MacKenzie has wowed both audiences and critics alike. Just like the NPG, the man is funky!

The touring configuration of the band changes subject to everyone's schedules but always with NPG alumni making up the majority of the group. At the core is Morris Hayes,, Tony Mosley, Sonny Thompson, Levi Seacer Jr. and Mackenzie. Website: www.thebandformerlyknownasnpg.com
