Artist Bios:
Funk Legends, featuring Funk Stop & FunkDaddies
Bands like Tower of Power, The Brothers Johnson, and James Brown had a huge impact on Eastern Iowa musicians growing up in the 80s and 90s. This led to the formation of groups like Mean Street and The Hell Horns, Funk 101, Thick as Thieves, 10 of Soul, and Brass Transit Authority. The legacy of these bands live on in Funk Stop and FunkDaddies, who will each perform and feature past members of these popular ensembles.
David Donald Trio
The David Donald Trio is an exciting jazz ensemble made up of students from the University of Northern Iowa. Led by pianist David Donald, the trio plays original compositions as well as classic jazz standards.
