SCC's Funk & Groove play Nov 14 at Club Hollywood

Funk 'n Groove is a Shoreline Community College music ensemble which provides opportunities for music students to perform and record songs in styles typical of commercial radio airplay from the 1970's to present.

This group performs music from a range of genres, including pop, jazz, funk, R/B, soul. and rap. The Funk 'n Groove band features students who play guitar, bass, piano, horns, drums and percussion, as well as vocalists.

Students perform shows in Seattle area clubs consisting of the original arrangements from artists and groups such as: Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Earth Wind and Fire, Chicago, Tower Of Power, Patti LaBelle, Amy Winehouse, John Mayer, Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams and many more.

In addition to offering vocalists and instrumentalists experience in performing in clubs around the Seattle area, Music Technology students can gain valuable hands-on audio experience running the sound and recording equipment for rehearsals and live performances.

The Club Hollywood Casino gig is the first off-campus performance this fall quarter. The students are excited to take everything they've learned through weekly group rehearsals to a lively club setting and to perform in front of an audience that will certainly include plenty of family and friends. The band will perform two sets; the first show begins at 9:00pm and the second show starts at 10:30pm.

Funk 'n Groove Ensemble, Instructor and Music Director: Jeff Kashiwa. Friday, November 14, Club Hollywood Casino, 16716 Aurora, Shoreline. Sets at 9pm and 10:30pm.
