Northeast Groovers also known as “NEG.” made their musical debut on the Go-Go scene in 1985 in Northeast Washington, DC. The idea for the band was created from the  imagination of owner and bass player Khari Pratt,  whose dream was destined to become reality. Khari’s motivation, passion, drive and a determination  led to the birth of  th legendaryN.E.G. The band was founded with the support of Khari’s loving parents Mrs. Pearl Pratt,  their long - time manager and Khari's father Mr. Henry Pratt. The spirit of their memory still drives every band member to greatness to this day.  NEG will celebrate their 40 year Anniversary as Go - Go Icons  at the Historic Howard  Theatre in DC on March 28th, 2025.
