- Long Beach Funk Fest 2010 August 7th
Long Beach is gonna get Funky this weekend when Delta Nove and a long list of funk-tastic acts will descend on downtown Long Beach for a day of funky music. The party kicks off at 11 am and won’t quit til the after party is over late that night.
The second annual Long Beach Funk Festival—a crescendo of the city’s summer-long, free concert series Summer And Music (SAM)—is scheduled to hit the streets of downtown Long Beach in full force on Saturday, August 7, 2010. At the intersection of Pine and Broadway Avenues—within walking distance of hundreds of local attractions, fine filling stations, cafes and pubs—the nation’s most respected funk performers will grove once again and stitch together the diverse fabric of Long Beach with music. Last year, 15,000 funky folks flocked the scene to witness funk legends like Mandrill, Dawn Silva and The Meters’ Experience, among many others. They came on bikes, by rail, bus, car and foot just to feel the funk. Long Beach Funk Festival founder Bobby Easton, of Delta Nove, says the line-up this year will be all it was in 2009 and then some.
