Description
Join the Poor House Bistro as they host a CD Release Party for Beaufunk, the Bay Area's go-to funk group. The music of Beaufunk can be described as a sort of marriage between Oakland and New Orleans funk styles, with a definite influence of legendary funk stars Tower of Power. Each of the Beaufunk's musicians have extensive performing experience, and have played with some of the top artists on the scene; guitarist Ian Lamson has toured with Elvin Bishop for nine years, saxophonist Jim Peterson was a vital member of Mumbo Gumbo, bassist Timm Walker and drummer William Allums were in Zydeco Flames, and keyboardist Lorenzo Hawkins is himself a veteran of Tower of Power.
