Well, well, well. It’s official: Funktacular is back at 49 West for the annual post-Thanksgiving funk fest but this time it is on SATURDAY, 11/30. Cory, Aggie, and I are so stoked to be back in Annapolis and doing what we yearn to do all year: bringing the funk.
Per usual, the evening will be divided up into 2 sets. The first set will be a bit chiller, a bit lighter, but nevertheless funky. That’s from 7-9! Second set is after that and we’ll be grooving till midnight.
Sets are $14 a piece, but if you RSVP for both you get half off set #2 (for a total of 21 meager bucks to use our jams to help work off that Thanksgiving food baby!)
PLEASE NOTE: this show has sold out every time we’ve played it, so you will 1) need to call ahead to 49 West (number below) to get a seat, and 2) please please inform the person who answers WHICH set(s) you are hoping to reserve for! You can reach 49 West at 410-626-9796. We can’t wait!
