DJ Cassidy & Kirstie Alley
For the past 10 years, DJ Cassidy’s birthday parties have been the stuff from which of legends are made. Each one held in a popular or historic NYC venue and often attended by the very best in the entertainment scene.
“The Essence Music Festival is privileged to have over forty artists spanning the R&B, funk, soul, classics, hip-hop and neo-soul genres gathering to celebrate the Roots of R&B this Fourth of July weekend,” says Essence Communications President Michelle Ebanks. “We are looking forward to three nights of amazing performances, featuring an all-star cast of trailblazers such as El Debarge and New Edition; legends such as Chaka Khan and George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic; and fan favorites like Mary J. Blige and Trey Songz. There will be even more exciting performers announced soon!”
