Come Join us with Stanton Moore as Master of the Ceremony in a special performance of Funky But Better featuring Big Sam (of Sam's Funky Nation), Ivan Neville (of Dumpstaphunk), Stanton Moore (of Galactic), Eric McFadden (of PFunk & Animal), and Doug Wimbish
(of Living Colour) to help support the Roots of Music at the Beekman on
September 25th at 7PM. General Admission $35 and VIP $100 includes
Nawlin's Buffet, Complimentary Red Bull, Absolut, and Bulleit Bourbon
cocktails, Godiva Chocolate Gift Bags & Treme Recordings.
The
Roots of Music’s mission founded by Derrick Tabb of Rebirth Brass
Band is to teach, support, and empower New Orleans’ youth through music
education, academic support, and personal mentorship, while preserving
and promoting New Orleans’ unique musical and cultural heritage. The
goal is to give the youth of New Orleans the resources to live positive,
productive, and self-reliant lives in community with others.
The
Roots of Music is a year-round program for low-income,
9-to-14-year-olds that fills a void in our city’s middle school music
education programs. Once an integral part of New Orleans middle
schools, after Katrina many schools discontinued their marching bands
and music programs for this age group.
