The loss of Aretha Franklin is a blow for everybody who loves real music: Music from the heart, the soul and the Church. Her voice was unique, her piano playing underrated – she was one of my favourite pianists.

Imagine the difference if we tried. 7/23/20 Alan Evans

We've had quite a few people ask when we're coming back to Washington, D.C. At first, we didn't think it was going to happen for a while, but then we realized, our geography skills are not that strong. We play @wolf_trap on 4/18 in Vienna, VA. 15 miles from downtown DC.

Funk Parade is expanding and for the first year in a row partnering with venues in other neighborhoods to present #FunkPowered showcases all over the city. Union Stage will be presenting AZTEC SUN and Black Masala... facebook.com/thefunkparade/…
