You’ll Find the Real Masters at The Major Rager!
The Masters Tournament is this weekend in Augusta GA. Who’s playing? You want to talk about the golfers… or the real Masters?
George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. The James Brown Band featuring Fred Wesley. Dumpstaphunk. Those are real masters. Masters of funk. Talk about aces — these guys are ON THE ONE!
We’re talking about The Major Rager, the fifth time this party has been thrown the weekend of the golf tournament. Friday, April 6th is the date in Augusta. In addition to the masters already named, you can add George Porter, Jr., of The Meters, Brandon ‘Taz’ Niederauer, Chris Rob of Nasty Delicious, and Elise Testone.
It’s gonna be P-FUNK. UNCUT FUNK. THE BOMB.
Not enough music? Head on over to Sky City after the show for Everyone Orchestra, conducted by the master himself, Matt Butler. The orchestra will include members of Umphrey’s McGee, Turkuaz, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, The Revivalists, Aqueous, and more!
This is a benefit for the James Brown Academy of Musik Pupils. As Mr. Brown reminded us:
In my hometown where I used to stay
The name of the place is Augusta, GA
Down there we have a good time
We don’t talk
We all get together in time, for rhythm with you
So come and walk
