Want to Get Funky? Don’t Miss Galactic This Summer!
A taste of Bourbon Street in Brooklyn? Count me in! Galactic is touring in support of their latest album, Into the Deep, and will be taking over Brooklyn Bowl for two funk-fueled nights on July 22nd and 23rd. Their most recent effort was released one year ago this week, and they have been on the road practically ever since. The band is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut recording Coolin’ Off. Galactic are no strangers to the popular New York venue, Brooklyn Bowl. The wide-open general admission floor is more than perfect for a set that will undoubtedly inspire a moving and shaking crowd from start to finish.
There’s no question, this band makes music that belongs on the stage. Into the Deep, like the rest of Galactic’s exuberant catalog, just begs to be heard live. The album is a smooth mix of funk, soul, jazz and rock and features a slew of brilliant voices from Macy Gray to Mavis Staples. Twenty years later and Galactic is still masterfully recalling traditional New Orleans sound with a modern twist.
As always, guest vocals are essential to Galactic. Joining the band on this leg of the tour is New Orleans native Erica Falls. Falls carries the spirit of her home city with her on every stage she graces. She has worked with legendary artists including Allen Toussaint, Sting and John Fogerty, to name a few. Once again lending her soulful vocals to Galactic, a match made in musical heaven is guaranteed.
You don’t have to wait until Fat Tuesday to party New Orleans style. Catch Galactic during their two-night residency at Brooklyn Bowl and grooving on tour throughout the rest of the summer. Tickets available on their website now.
