In 2009, Festival Founder Scott Andrews and Matt Clark Tile and Stone through a Funk Festival in SLO.
This event featured multiple bands, and for posterity sake, we're glad it's behind us! It was a windy day - Scott's folks stayed in the car it was so miserable. Fortunately, for the die-hard funk fans who weathered it out, they were treated to several awesome sets of funk music by local favorite bands.
Everyone who attended received a groovy funky t-shirt and a CD single by local funk band, BODY:
It's not every day you see a band playing bad bad funk with a singer singing through a megaphone, the band in space suits, with movies about space shuttles on a big wall behind them. Yep, that really happened! Far out, right?
Who knows what the next SLO FUNK FESTIVAL will be like?! We are considering bringing back a funk festival in the future, after we get the 2014 Jazz Festival under our belts. Stay tuned... !
