Genre
Funk, Soul
While Andre has always contributed fierce funk to the artists he collaborated with, Still A Thrill being the shining example, he first debuted the most furious funk for his own forthcoming solo record when he previewed songs live at Paisley Park New Years Eve in 2019/2020. While the pandemic pushed pause on everything, this album full of funk cannot be contained and will come out this summer. Listen/Buy Andre’s music here.
Andre Cymone is an accomplished singer, songwriter and record producer. Raised in Minneapolis, Cymone and his schoolmate Prince laid the foundation for the revolutionary “Minneapolis sound.” With three solo albums spawning several R&B hits Cymone also established himself as an in-demand producer, co-writing and producing songs for a diverse array of acts, including Adam Ant, Jody Watley, Tom Jones and Tina Turner.
In 2012, Cymone returned from a self-imposed recording hiatus emerging as a musical activist speaking to our times with songs like “America” and “Trayvon” inspired by the murder of an unarmed black teenager. Cymone went on to release two critically acclaimed independent albums, The Stone and 1969, giving us “Black Man in America,” a rallying cry for justice.
Andre was back in the Studio working on his sixth full-length album and released the track “Our World Is on Fire” early as a clarion call during the summer of 2020. Cymone says the full collection “will be a Resurrection Of The Funk and a return to my roots.”

CCC2020 AT HOME EDITION with Tank and the Bangas
OMG Digital Media Solutions (“OMG Media”) presents a virtual concert series over Labor Day weekend highlighting past performers from the Minnesota State Fair
Past MN State Fair performers Caitlyn Smith, Tank and The Bangas and The War And Treaty will headline the Virtual Celebration of Culture and Community 2020 three-day concert series supported by The Minneapolis Foundation as part of the Fair’s At-Home Edition, also shining a spotlight on four local non-profits doing outstanding work in the community.
As soon as we learned we weren’t going to be able to gather in-person this year for the Great Minnesota Get-Together, we started thinking of ways we could bring a celebration of culture and community to you, the community, in a safe fashion. As a MN State Fair partner for the past five years, OMG Media felt we could provide creative value to the Fair’s At-Home Edition by doing what we do best, digital media content creation. We decided to welcome back some of your favorite past Fair performers for a nostalgic Labor Day weekend celebration. As part of the Celebrate Culture and Community concert series, OMG Media is also highlighting four local non-profits whose missions reflect outstanding service to the community. They are: ARTS-Us, Philando Castile Relief Foundation, St. Jude and Ujamaa Place.
The #CCC2020 concert series will premiere on YouTube at 6:00pm (CT) on Saturday, September 5, and continue through Labor Day. The series will also be included in the Minnesota State Fair’s At-Home Edition, which will appear on the Fair’s website and social media channels. In addition to links to OMG Media’s concert series, there will be daily fun fair facts, memories, demonstrations and entertainment, history tidbits, creative contests and more. The State Fair’s At-Home Edition will run August 27 through September 7.
