Bootsy Collins: A Book Release Experience Featuring Zapp

Bootsy Collins: A Book Release Experience Featuring Zapp brings the larger-than-life world of Bootsy Collins from the page to the stage. Created around the release of his new book, the experience gives fans a closer look at the stories, personalities, and moments behind one of music’s most original careers. Through live conversation, personal memories, fan engagement, photo opportunities, and an accompanying performance by Zapp, the event blends the intimacy of a book celebration with the energy of a live funk experience.

Across both artists’ audience profiles, the strongest concentration falls among adults 25–44, supported by established listeners ages 45–64 and continued interest from the 18–24 audience. Both audiences also skew male, with men representing 72.6% of Bootsy Collins’ audience and 63.4% of Zapp’s. This reach connects longtime funk devotees with younger listeners who know the music through hip-hop, sampling, streaming, and contemporary R&B. From Bootsy’s unmistakable persona and influential catalog to Zapp classics such as “More Bounce to the Ounce” and “Computer Love,” the experience offers cultural significance, personal storytelling, direct fan connection, and a memorable live component built around the book release.
