EVENT DESCRIPTION

Roots, Rock, & Deep Blues, KFAI Community Radio & MN Blues Society Presents

Horn-Ucopia” Fall Funk Fest

 
Three funky and soulful horn-based bands will keep you dancing all night long.  We start off outdoors “Under The Canopy” with sets by Purple Funk Metropolis and McNasty Brass Band.  Then, when we hit our outdoor curfew, we kick it over to our indoor theater stage with Porky’s Groove Machine.
 

7pm – Purple Funk Metropolis (Outside Canopy Stage)
8:30pm – McNasty Brass Band (Outside Canopy Stage)
10pm – Porky’s Groove Machine (Inside Theater Stage)

Purple Funk Metropolis is a charismatic seven-piece instrumental band with a raw sound inspired by soul, jazz, funk, and more. Their origins trace back to jazz classes at the University of Minnesota. They recorded their first EP Morsels in 2017 and have continually been performing, recording, and rehearsing since, which has allowed for their sound to mature and evolve.  
 

McNasty Brass Band is a collection of Minneapolis/Saint Paul based horn players and percussionists that fuse the Minneapolis sound with the spirit of New Orleans. The outcome of this fusion is hard-hitting dance music and high-energy live shows. Each player works tirelessly outside McNasty Brass Band as a side-man, some with national and international touring acts.

Porky’s Groove Machine has been getting both funky and silly since the fall of 2011. While their costumes and sense of humor show their willingness to not take themselves too seriously, their dedication to high-energy and high-entertainment performances is anything but laughable. With classic covers, quirky originals, and synchronized dance moves (for band and audience alike), their live shows are a delight for crowds of all ages.
