About

A Trike Called Funk is a Boston-based creative venture co-founded in July 2021 by MC & Dance Lead Aaron Myers and DJ Edward Galan, whose community-based activations feature music genres & dance forms from Funk to Hip Hop across the African diaspora in the Americas. Together with other local artists specializing in complementary types of music and dance as well as visual arts like graffiti, we orchestrate participatory arts experiences around our one-of-a-kind front-loading cargo tricycle, which is equipped with its own portable dance floor, power source, DJ equipment, and sound system, as well as a free-standing frame for visual arts activities. A Trike Called Funk's overarching mission is to unleash creativity, foster connectivity, and build community everywhere we pedal and park.

Located in the heart of Roslindale, The Substation is a reimagined historic building turned lively community venue. Home to local food vendors, pop-ups, performances, and neighborhood gatherings, The Substation brings people together in creative and meaningful ways. It's not just a space—it’s a cultural hub where Boston vibes thrive.
