Are you making plans for the summer festivals yet BISS Listers? I am starting to think about them as I get ready to go out tonight for FOR THE FUNK OF IT presents SMOKEY THE GROOVE at Boom Boom Room. The 5th Annual For The Funk of It Music Festival is located in beautiful Belden, CA on the Feather River and takes place on August 10-12 2018. This year's line-up features Big Sam's Funky Nation, Five Alarm Funk, Mojo Green, The Nibblers, Idea Team, Smokey The Groove, El Matate, Brooker D and the Mellow Fellows, Funk Exchange, Jive Machine and More TBA!
But first I am heading to the Hemlock tonight for Stu Allen and Alex Jordan. Show starts at 8:30 so plenty of time to catch them and still make it to BBR for Smokey.
Friday, there 17 show options on the full BISS calendar. . . Even narrowing that list down to only the picks of the weeks, leaves us with NINE! I am weighing out the top three and trying to decide between Umphrey's McGee at The Fox; Soul Ska at Great American Music Hall; or Ghost Light featuring Holly Bowling, Tom Hamilton, Steve Lyons, Raina Mullen, Scotty Zwang at Terrapin Crossroads...
Saturday, again, another 13 shows on the full BISS Calendar. TEN of those are in my picks of the week. And again I am torn. On the one hand Dumpstaphunk is at UC Theater (with tickets to be won!). On the other hand, I could catch the second night with Holly Bowling. Most likely, I will stick to the city and see long time fave Moon Hooch at Great American followed by LONGEST time favorite Ronkat Spearman's Katdelic!
If I make it out on Sunday, might be for Return of The Cypher... Lexy, you in? Then again, Afrolicious is playing at SF Jazz too.
MONDAY, MONDAY MONDAY! Monday brings an amazing super group to the known as Matador Soul Sounds featuring Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds) and Alan Evans (Soulive) their fierce cuadrilla consists of keyboardist Chris Spies and bassist Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring) as the band's "banderilleros". Adding a feminine energy to the band are Adryon de León and Kimberly Dawson (Pimps of Joytime) on vocals at Great American Music Hall. ***YES! You CAN WIN TICKETS from BISS List!
