For More Information visit www.ZenArcadeTHC.com NO REFUNDS ========================= Celebrate the music of Sly & The Family Stone and Rufus with legendary Twin Cities band Dr. Mambo's Combo. The Combo will be performing a FULL night of music from these two iconic funk artists. World renowned Dr. Mambo’s Combo has been performing weekly at Bunkers Music Bar & Grill since 1987 — one of the longest running weekly residencies anywhere in America. The band quickly became Prince’s favorite — playing soul, rock, and r&b music with unmatched passion and fire - and audiences have flocked to their weekly performances ever since. In addition to Prince, many national touring artists often stop by to sit in with the band after their own show —including John Mayer, Sheila E, Questlove, Stokley, Larry Graham, and Bonnie Raitt. Dr. Mambo’s Combo’s ‘Let Me Have it All’ features a diverse collection of songs across the many eras and styles of these amazing trendsetting artists. Sly Stone rose to popularity with Woodstock era hits ‘Everyday People’ & ‘I Want to Take You Higher’, and took a surprise turn in the early 70’s with the genre defining funk of ‘Family Affair’ and ‘If You Want Me to Stay’. Rufus and Chaka Khan were one of the most popular and influential funk bands of the 1970s, with four consecutive number-one R&B albums, ten top 40 pop hits and five number-one R&B singles including ‘Tell Me Something Good’, ‘Sweet Thing’ and ‘Ain’t Nobody’. The current band lineup features Julius Collins and Monique Blakey on lead vocals, Sonny Thompson on bass, Brian Ziemniak on keys, Geoff LeCrone on guitar and Peter Suttman on drums. Joining the band for this special performance are The Bangbang Horns (Peter Vircks & Jake Baldwin). ========================= AFTER-PARTY - 10PM Inside Theater (Included with Ticket) ========================= BLACKFISH MOVEMENT� A Kaleidoscopic Collision of Rock, Funk and Soul From gutsy to raw, to smooth and enticing, Blackfish lays down lyrics with finesse and vocal soul. Reminiscent and respectful of Jimi, Sly and Stevie, all the while delivering a feel and message all Blackfish’s own. Led by Washington D.C. native Stephen Slater, songwriter and guitarist, Blackfish musicians have recorded and performed with many artists from New York, and Miami to Los Angeles and Minneapolis including Morris Hayes (NPG), Jack Robinson (Carmen Electra), Cynthia Johnson, Jelly Bean Johnson, Greg Sain and many others. ========================= Cabana & Table Upgrades Would you like to reserve a party cabana for eight or a table for four under an umbrella? ---- Party Cabana (8 Person) - $110 Front Porch Table (4 Person) - $55 Only one person needs to purchase the Upgrade.
