ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
BIG SAM'S FUNKY NATION 
When you think of New Orleans, the city’s foremost flambeaux-lit traditions of Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, voodoo, Po’ boys, beads, gumbo, and second line undoubtedly come to mind. You can also count Noladelic PowerFunkamongst those NOLA treasures. That’s the sound BIG SAM’S FUNKY NATION have been whipping up for more than a decade! It’s high-energy music that mixes funk, rock & roll, hip-hop, and jazz into the same pot, gluing everything together with the brassy influence —and heavy grooves —of New Orleans
SHAKE ALERT
Shake Alert is a happy explosion of musical energy and invention that draws from the diverse experiences of its members. Threads of Afrobeat, hip-hop, rock, fusion and good old funk all show up in Shake Alert's all-original, all homegrown music, but the primary directive is to throw down some filthy, unfiltered funk and get you up off your butt and onto the dance floor!
