The Minnesota Timberwolves are celebrating Women’s History Night presented by nVent on Wednesday, March 19 when the Wolves host the Pelicans.
Special programming for this year’s Women’s History Night will feature:
Women’s History Night Talent and Entertainment
Ashley Dubose will sing the national anthem. DuBose is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter known for her appearance on NBC’s The Voice. Her music spans R&B, pop, and acoustic soul. A St. Catherine University mathematics graduate, she released her debut album, Somethin’ More, the day after graduation. Named Best Female Vocalist by City Pages, her album BE YOU was highlighted as one of 2015’s best by the Star Tribune. Beyond music, DuBose is a mother of three, a real estate agent and developer, and a voice-over actress.
Halftime’s performance will feature Coco & Breezy. Coco and Breezy are producers and DJs and the stylish twins behind their multifaceted brand. Their musical journey was influenced by their family and grew into a deep passion for dance music culture. Post moving to New York to launch their eyewear company, Coco and Breezy submerged themselves into changing the face of dance music and what it means to be a technically accomplished Afro-Latina women DJs and producers.
DJ Sophia Eris will serve as the evening’s guest DJ. Eris is a DJ and emcee currently residing in Minneapolis. Born as a military brat, Eris moved through many different homes and influences. Musically, she has used her upbringing to cultivate her skills in the exact same way. Eris is now a DJ for the radio station Go 95.3 and also the touring DJ for Lizzo.

Timberwolves Artist Series x Hannah Anema Merchandise Collaboration
Fans will have the opportunity to purchase a limited-edition crewneck designed by artist Hannah Anema for the Timberwolves Artist Series , available exclusively in-arena at the Timberwolves Team Store (Section 136), a Fanatics Experience.

Her art reflects the movement and energy of the outdoors, capturing the beauty of the landscapes she works in every day.
Anema’s Timberwolves Artist Series crewneck is a tribute to Minnesota’s wild beauty and the spirit of the game.

Bold shapes and rich colors give the design depth and energy, blending strength, movement and connection.
