I may get the chance to see Questlove on Saturday afternoon when he offers up “Breaks for Kids” to families which features his “hand selected spinning of classic records… as well as special performances, arts and crafts, photo booths and delicious treats sure to bring out the kid in everyone.” It sounds like another unique pre-Grammy opportunity. The Roots have announced the lineup for their 2021 pre-Grammys 'Roots Jam Session,' which will take place on Saturday (March 13) and feature Ant Clemons, Ari Lennox, Jon Batiste and more.

Talib Kweli and Dave Chappelle apparently hit the stage for a wild finale… Let that be a warning to anyone going to see the full Roots crew playing tonight or tomorrow though. There were two special guests I missed though because I left after the August Greene set (it was late!). August Greene was technically set to make their live debut at the Highline Ballroom tonight but I guess they wanted to get in a warm-up gig before. It was less surprising (but no less exciting) to see Common take the stage along with his August Greene bandmates, Robert Glasper and Karriem Riggins.

A couple of videos from the show are below. The lead singer, Matt Berninger was in fine form, with good humor and his trademark energy, including one dash through the crowd, grabbing phones and taking pics. And they didn’t disappoint with a 20-plus song set that stormed on for two hours. The National can’t be considered an opener for the Roots in any regard. On Thursday January 25 (and into the 26th), I found myself going from an excellent show from the National at Irving up 10 blocks or so to see the Roots.
