FUNK U UP: A Benefit and All-Star Birthday Bash for Luqman Brown

A night with heavy metal soulsters 24-7 Spyz and FunkFace?!? Yes, please! They’re coming together for one night only to send love, birthday blessings, and funds to FunkFace frontman Luqman Brown as he recovers from open-heart surgery.

24-7 Spyz will kick it off and then the FunkFace crew of Ramsey Jones (drums), Frank Usamanont (bass), Jeff Usamanont (rhythm guitar), Jerome Jordan and Tim Grove (lead guitars) will invite some of their closest, bad-ass vocalist friends to join them onstage to lead us through some of the punkiest, funkiest, rockingest gems from FunkFace’s 30-year catalog.

Look for performances from Corey Glover (of Living Colour), Honeychild Coleman (of The 1865), Julien Vasquez (of Stillsuit), Lisa McQuade and others.

Since it’s all about community, this event is being coordinated by The Black Rock Coalition—the national, grassroots, nonprofit organization that’s been selflessly championing alternative Black musical expression since 1985.
