Guitarist and bandleader Joe Marcinek has rerouted his upcoming Dead Funk Summit show in California to Los Angeles following the abrupt cancellation of Skull & Roses Festival, originally scheduled to take place in Ventura on April 19th, 20th, and 21st. Determined not to scrap the ensemble’s plans for a trip out west, Marcinek will now host a special Dead Funk Summit show at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach on Sunday, April 21st featuring an opening set by Shambala.
Dead Funk Summit is a fusion of the musical worlds of the Grateful Dead and New Orleans funk. In addition to releasing his recent Dead Funk Summit album featuring Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band) and George Porter Jr. (The Meters), Joe Marcinek hosts frequent live Dead Funk Summit events featuring a rotating mix of beloved players from the extended jam and funk scenes.
