Philly’s Phunkestra just celebrated their two year anniversary party and are ready to ring in the new year! Soul queen Tahoe Jackson will be leading the charge while the Phunk horn driven powerhouse, Philly’s Phunkestra holds down the groove. Winter is setting in but this night of rare funk and soul grooves by such epic labels as Philadelphia International and Motown will be burnin’ the place down!

“Tahoe Jackson, a thoroughly stunning Portland soul singer so witty and powerfully charismatic that she almost induced tears and laughter simultaneously. Spookily channeling the brash spirit of Nina Simone, she belted out an improv number with backing from the Nick Jaina Band, playfully associating Hebb with culinarily shameful Hot Pockets and decrying a lover who tossed her on the floor like forgotten spare change.” Hannah Levin – Seattle Weekly.
