I keep forgetting I got a twitter account. I keep forgetting that it’s something I should use again. Anyhow, my son directed the video for my song “Over The Ocean”. He killed it! So proud! Watch it here! https://t.co/McqZ49U8lK
@GWhitelady Hey, not that fond of the guitar as bloodsport thing. I love Louis Cato and would rather make guitarnomy with him. I get to shred in #theRoots concerts. Come see us late December. I also have my own band #hundredwattheart. I’m Shreddy Wap with that.
Thank you @questlove@blackthought@kirklloyd + @theroots crew (plus special guests) for phenomenal 20th anny performance of "Things Fall Apart" at @HollywoodBowl. Slightly shuffled song order kept me on my toes but guitar solo finale brought us to our knees - it was spectacular!
@kirklloyd I just discovered your new album yesterday. Probably the coolest thing I've heard in a while. I hope you release some more solo stuff in the future.
Last week @kirklloyd stopped by the Museum and played an incredible version of the anthem in tribute to Jimi Hendrix! 🎸💥
His performance kicked off a special ceremony to dedicate a 50th anniversary #Woodstock stamp from USPS. Watch the full ceremony: https://t.co/60So4yeUew
