============================
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, Margaret Cox 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 & Riley Helgeson).
