Continuing its 36th summer of free concerts at Miller Plaza, Nightfall features headlining band Funk You at 8 p.m. on Friday, preceded by Three Star Revival at 7 p.m.
Review for Funk You:
One of the most electrifying acts in contemporary funk, Funk You is comprised of eight kindred spirits, driven by an unwavering passion for live performance and intoxicating blend of modern and vintage sounds. Their journey began in 2011 with the release of Funk You, followed quickly by its companion album of Funk You II. This early material laid the groundwork for the growth of a ravenous grassroots fan base in the southern U.S.
In 2016, Funk You released Apparitions, a crucial milestone that launched them on the national scene via the project’s single “She’s So High.” The song quickly gained traction on regional radio and has since amassed over one million plays on Spotify.
This was just the beginning of an incredible adventure for this octet from Augusta, Ga., who feel blessed as they continue to do what they love most: creating music that moves both body and soul.
Three Star Revival will open the show at 7 p.m, taking their listeners across a plethora of genres including soul/r&b/jazz/funk/americana and tying it all together with a high energy rock show. The six-piece band, fronted by Ben Gaines, is split between Chattanooga and Knoxville and has started spreading their Tennessee sounds across the country by playing large festivals and opening for bands like Big Something, Perpetual Groove, Moon Taxi, Trevor Hall and Portuga. The Man.
