About the event

Purple Funk Metropolis & Gifted Handz
Purple Funk Metropolis is a charismatic seven-piece instrumental band with a raw sound inspired by soul, jazz, funk and more. Their origins trace back to jazz classes at the University of Minnesota. There, Andrew Tomten (bandleader and saxophone) met Alex Browne (trumpet), Sam Rosenstone (keys), Tarek Abdelqader (drums) and Andy Schupp (bass). Various iterations of bands and musical projects developed until the group, with the addition of Alex Graves (guitar) recorded their first EP. Then, they released Morsels in 2017 under the name Purple Funk Metropolis.

The band has continually been performing, recording, and rehearsing, and their sound has matured and evolved. The addition of Evan Slack (guitar) to the group in 2019 added a new level of live energy. Additionally, it allowed for more dense arrangements of tunes old and new. Whether in a Como basement or a downtown dive bar, PFM’s energy notoriously gets the whole room dancing.

Gifted Handz Band is a gospel-fusion music group that is devoted to engaging with music lovers through their performances. Here, they create art that is informative, influential, and inspiring. Joe and Josh are both first-generation African American teenagers. Further, they have dedicated their time to utilizing their gifts and platform to uplift their peers, and striving to create social change. Their mission is to inspire young people to embrace their creative gifts and/or talents. Additionally, they use their music to create a conversation that can break cultural, political, and racial barriers.
