Super excited to be returning to the Boom Boom Room with two powerhouse Bay Area bands; The George Lacson Project and Oakadelic.
It’s been a while since we’ve played this iconic venue in the historic Fillmore District of San Francisco andwe can’t wait to get back to business in one of our favorite spots!
This will be nothing short of a blowout celebration.
THE GEORGE LACSON PROJECT
The GLP isa collective musicians based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Organized and led by bass player George Lacson, their sound melds traditional Jazz, Funk, R&B with the innovative and modern influences of today’s contemporary music.
Throughout George's career, he has performed with world-renowned artists such as John LeeHooker Jr. and shared the stage with household names like Lenny Kravitz and Z.Z. Top. He has also recorded with the likes of Patrice Rushen, members of Graham Central Station, and gained notoriety on Grammy Nominated albums. The GLP entices listeners’ ears with powerful, inspired music that’s built around a backbone of strong musicianship.
OAKADELIC
Oakadelic is a funk, soul and R&B collective at the heart of the Bay Area's funk scene. It is also includes rotating members from many noteworthy musicians in the Bay, and at the Funk Jams which Oakadelic hosts, they also been fortunate enough to perform with musical guests who haveattended such as Killah Priest of WuTang Clan, Andy Vargas of Santana, Dennis Chambers of Parliament Funkadelic, Nadiya Deleye Lewis of The Family Stone, Terrace Martin of Kendrick Lamar's band, Kurt Rosenwinkle and more.
Oakadelic has also opened up for some of its own inspirations such as Orgone and the New Master Sounds, and has performed at historic Oakland Venues such as the Paramount, Yoshi's Oakland, and more. Primarily an instrumentally- drivenen semble lead by horns, the group combines its roots in 50's and 60's Jazz improvisation- and spontaneous stretching out of sections and unusually complex riffs-with its extensions to 70's and 80's four-to- the- floor smack down fonk.
The band's performance is particularly known for being both virtuosic and complex as well as *always* hands-down-booty-shaking groovy. A modern day branch of Parliament Funkadelic's spirit and influence, Oakadelic plays that smack down Oakland fonk that will be sure to stimilate Both the mind and body.
