Buy Your Tickets HERE!
Influenced by The Meters, Dr. John and The Neville Brothers, Papa Grows Funk parcels it out New Orleans-style, paying homage to the tradition through Gros' sparse but rhythmic style offset by Yamagishi's blazing guitar. One is treated to a booty shaking set of Mardi Gras funk, original material, improvised jams and fresh interpretations of New Orleans classics. These five musicians seamlessly shift gears while never losing the essential groove.Mesmerizing audiences everywhere with their own provocative blend of pop, funk and soul, Gurufish excels at weaving irresistible melodies around hypnotic, funky grooves to give birth to songs that are hooky, sexy and sophisticated.
Merging the skills of MCs Ben Hameen, J-Mil and Bambu de Asiatic, and held together by the edgy, organic turntablism of DJ Creashun, Collective Efforts' positive, powerful message sets them apart from the majority of hip-hop currently coming out of the south, and appeals to fans of both “mainstream” pop, rap, and R&B fans as well as aficionados of underground, conscious hip-hop.
"This quintet offers a mountain of musical riches: close harmony singing, propulsive melodies with innovative tempo changes, hot banjo picking from Matt Menefee and intriguing original material from the pen of the group's lead singer and mandolin player, Bryan Simpson.” -Chicago Sun-Times
A Special Early Show!
WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS
Rosi Golan
Wednesday April 22nd, 2009
Doors @ 6pm - $12 adv
William Fitzsimmons is one of the oddest people you will ever meet. Born the youngest child of two blind parents, William was raised in the outskirts of the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Due to the family's inability to communicate through normal visual means, William's childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The house was suffused with pianos, guitars, trombones, talking birds, classical records, family sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and the bellowing of a pipe organ, which his father built into the house with his own hands. When his father's orchestral records were not resonating through the walls, his mother would educate him on the folk stylings of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Simon & Garfunkel.

Scott Miller blends folk and rock like there ain’t no words for. The power of storytelling with the power of a compressed electric guitar comes through this Virginian not heard since the likes of Wayne Newton (fellow Virginian) or The Statler Brothers (also of the Commonwealth.)

Try to imagine Grant Green and Lou Donaldson having a fight in a Hammond Organ shop while James Brown holds the coats, and you have some idea of what to expect from this band. Since his emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations ranging from the likes of: Medeski Martin and Wood, Christian McBride, Vernon Reid, Charlie Hunter, Jack DeJohnette, John Mayer, Ben Harper, Mos Def and The Roots, to name but a few.
