Funky Dozen Christmas Party at Soper Reese Theatre

Description

A “Funky Dozen” celebration of Christmas comes to the Soper Reese Theatre at 7:00 pm on Friday, December 16. Led by Larry Thompson, the band focuses on favorites from the 1970’s, but also pulls the best from the 80’s and 90’s, to provide high energy music that keeps the dance floor crowded. As the name suggests, the band features twelve talented musicians, but not always the same twelve. Part of the band's strength is their fluid mixture of core members and new musicians who bring great infusions of style and experience, helping the band stay true to its roots while it continues to grow and evolve. Twelve members blend to create a powerful sound, melding classic guitar and percussion with a brass section to blow the roof off, topped off with male and female vocalists who use their voices as instruments in their own right. They cite a wide variety of musical influences, including Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, Aretha Franklin, KC and the Sunshine Band, Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, The Isley Bros, and Patty Labelle, among others. Major sponsor for the concert is Strong Financial Network. Also sponsored by KXBX 98.3 and KNTI 99.5. All seats for this special “Third Friday Live” holiday celebration are $15. Open seating. Dance floor open. Tickets available online at SoperReeseTheatre.com, or at The Travel Center, 1265 S. Main, Lakeport, Monday-Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. For more information call 707-263-0577.
