Yours Sincerely, Sharon Jones

Overview

It has become one of 2016's most unfortunate trends: gathering in bar, club or venue around town to commemorate a music icon and commiserate over their loss. At The End on December 11, Jet Black Cat Music is taking the opportunity to put this cathartic routine into action once again, this time focusing on the late, great Sharon Jones.

Two things are certain once 5pm hits, and you should be able to guess what they are. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings' records will be given a spin or several. Obviously. And, there will be dancing. Most likely tears as well.

That's how you mark the impact of soul and funk singer who only released her first record at the age of 40, but made up for lost time in the 2o years that followed. You don't need to think twice about heading along — and yes, this kind of shindig has got to be the way it is.
