Big Sam's Funky NationFriday, September 17, 2010 8:00 PM
Big Sam’s Funky Nation delivers a large dose of its unique brand of New Orleans infused funk. The band is fronted by trombone powerhouse, "Big" Sam Williams, who began playing with the Dirty Dozen at the tender age of 19 before striking out on his own and creating the Funky Nation. Big Sam powered-up the horn section on the critically acclaimed, Grammy nominated, “River in Reverse” and is prominently featured in "Hot as a Pistol, Keen as a Blade" the concert tour DVD. While touring with Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint, in the Fall of 2006 and Summer of 2007, he earned consistent reviews as a musical force and star soloist. Big Sam has played with Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Dave Matthews, Ozomatli, and Widespread Panic. He has also shared the stage with U2 and Green Day for the emotional and energetic re-opening of the Superdome which was broadcast live on Monday Night Football. However, BSFN which has opened for the Black Crowes is not a one man show, the members of the Funky Nation, an extremely talented group of musicians, meet the challenge of their band leader. BSFN masterfully combines a rock sensibility with improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that’s the hallmark of big band funk. The energy level is high voltage when BSFN takes the stage. And don't miss Big Sam on HBO's series Treme. Price: $15.00
