A New York Evening With Questlove
The Grammy Museum welcomes six-time Grammy Award-winning and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Questlove to National Sawdust in Brooklyn for a celebration and discussion about his music, his latest work directing the new documentary Earth, Wind & Fire, and more, followed by an electric live DJ set. We first met Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson as the co-founder and drummer of The Roots, Philadelphia’s influential hip-hop group. Over thirty years, he’s built a career as an Academy Award-winning and EMMY-nominated filmmaker, DJ, producer, culinary entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author.
