Did Somebody Say ‘Feast’ and ‘Food?’ A Feast of Funk and Soul Food!
Recently we told you about a brand new event, A Feast of Funk and Soul Food, November 18 & 19 (Friday and Saturday), coming to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. You can read much more at this link. In the next week, we will be talking about the incredible band put together by The Nth Power to present Earth, Wind and Power, a tribute to funk powerhouse Earth, Wind and Fire. The Nth Power is a funk juggernaut on their own and will also perform a set of their music.
We will also review Scott Campbell’s outstanding new album, An Old Photo (his band is performing), and talk more about the other fine musical talent: The Jennifer Hartswick Band, The Roosevelt Collier Band, The Groove Orient, Leisure Chief, Albert Simpson and Isaac Corbitt.
Working on your appetite the weekend before Thanksgiving? This was part of the original press release:
“Equally exciting is the addition of a food program headlined by five internationally acclaimed chefs including James Beard Award winner Art Smith, (cookbook author and former private chef for Oprah Winfrey), Harrison Sapp (owner of Southern Soul BBQ, St. Simons Island and Live Oak, FL), Chris “Shaggy” Davis (New Orleans Crawfish Boil King), John Minas (The Edison, Tallahassee) and Samuel Forbes Edwards (Edwards Brothers BBQ). Foodies can purchase tickets that include meals prepared by each of these culinary legends.
Alongside the incredible food and music, A Feast of Funk & Soul Food welcomes two of Florida’s best breweries to the show – Dunedin Brewery and 81Bay Brewing Co.”
Boy, I sure hope there’s at least ONE porter or stout on the menu!
