Foreside Funk with Special Guest Kenya Hall, together for the first time at Jimmy’s. Foreside Funk is an eleven-piece New England funk and soul band built around a powerful six-piece horn section, tight rhythms, and strong vocals. Drawing inspiration from artists such as James Brown, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, The Meters, Dr. John, and the sounds of New Orleans, the band brings together experienced musicians from across the New England music scene. For this special performance at Jimmy’s, Foreside Funk welcomes acclaimed vocalist Kenya Hall. One of New England’s most respected soul and funk singers, Kenya has shared stages with artists including The Roots, Dr. John, Fred Wesley, Lettuce, Jon Fishman, Nigel Hall, Shemekia Copeland, and Rustic Overtones. The band has created new horn arrangements for songs from Kenya’s repertoire, combining her powerful voice with Foreside Funk’s horn-driven sound for a special night of funk, soul, R&B, and New Orleans-inspired music.
