Happy Mother's Day! Gospel Matinee
Bridge the generation gap: You and mom may not see eye to eye on music, but the Mother’s Day Gospel Matinee may just be that rare thing, a compromise that pleases everyone. Naomi Shelton and her singers, the Gospel Queens, represent the old school, performing in support of their latest single, the soul-funk throwback “What Have You Done?” Representing the new school, the backup band includes members of the Dap-Kings, of the Amy Winehouse-“Back to Black” Dap-Kings. At 2 p.m. (doors open at 1), Highline Ballroom, 431 West 16th Street, Chelsea, (212) 414-5994, highlineballroom.com; $25.
