Born on this day in 1950: Prairie Prince, drummer with The Tubes,  known for their hits ‘Talk To Ya Later’ and ‘She’s A Beauty’.

He was also a member of Jefferson Starship from 1992–2008, and has worked with Chris Isaak (on his first four albums), Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno, David Byrne, XTC, Tom Waits, Paul Kantner, George Harrison, Dick Dale, Glenn Frey, Richard Marx, Bill Spooner, Neil Hamburger, John Fogerty, Nicky Hopkins, Tommy Bolin, Phil Lesh, Singer at Large Johnny J. Blair, and former Tubes and Grateful Dead keyboardist Vince Welnick.

In addition to his work as a drummer, he is also an in-demand graphic artist, and has designed album covers for Journey (Raised on Radio), Todd Rundgren (Healing) and many others.

Along with his creative partner and fellow former Tube Michael Cotten, he has created numerous set designs for major artists including Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Bette Midler, N’Sync, Shania Twain, Styx, The Tubes, and Todd Rundgren. Prince and Cotten have teamed up with choreographer Kenny Ortega on several special events including the 1996 Summer Olympics of Atlanta, Super Bowl XXX Half Time Show (which featured Diana Ross singing “Take Me Higher” as she was lifted from the field in a helicopter), Michael Jackson’s “This is It” concert, and Shania Twain’s residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV.
