Yellow Springs… Home of the Original Dave Chappelle’s Juke Joint ft. Frederic Yonnet and the Band with No Name
They did it again! Comedian Dave Chappelle, harmonicist Frederic Yonnet and Dj D-Nice got together for another Juke Joint. This time back in the barn in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Grammy Award Winner Jill Scott made a surprise appearance on the first night and had so much fun, she stayed for the second night! Making up songs on the spot, Jill’s poetic lyrics and perfect pitch was jaw-dropping. Always a showstopper, the original human beat box Doug E. Fresh jumped on stage several times throughout the night adding his funky fresh beats to the playlist. At one point, he even pulled out a harmonica and went head to head with harmonica master Yonnet.
Comedians Amy Schumer, Hannibal Burress and Donnell Rawlings were in the barn and Amy described it on Instagram as “the greatest night.” Other guests included A Tribe Called Quest’s Jarobi White, rappers Talib Kweli, Pharaoh Monch, Kardinal Offishall, Hi-Tek, R&B singers Martin Luther McCoy and Wayna.
