Book Talk: Seth Neblett on Mothership Connected

Step inside the Stax Museum of American Soul Music for a night that’s equal parts funk celebration and history lesson. We’re honored to host Seth Neblett, author of Mothership Connected: The Women of Parliament-Funkadelic, for an unforgettable evening that shines a long-overdue spotlight on the women who helped shape one of the most revolutionary sounds in music.

The son of “Queen of Funk” Mallia Franklin, Neblett has spent nearly twenty years gathering stories that center the voices too often left out of the P-Funk legacy. Through interviews with his mother and fellow trailblazers—alongside reflections from icons like George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, and Sly Stone—Neblett restores these women to their rightful place in history.

Expect an engaging conversation with the author, lively discussion about the legacy of women in funk, and plenty of inspiration as we celebrate the release of this groundbreaking book from UT Press. Copies of Mothership Connected will be available for purchase and signing.
