Grammy-nominated singer/percussionist Everett Bradley’s persona Papadelic as funk’s Father Christmas, bringing funk-lore to Sony Hall for a Holidelic holiday show on Sunday, December 22.
Having performed with the likes of Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and SEAL among others, Everett’s use of funk is cleverly told through 70’s and 80’s inspired originals, with reimagined classics celebrating diversity and love as one nation under a groove.
Everett Bradley brings to life the role of Papadelic, funk’s Father Christmas, a combo of George Clinton and a soulful Santa. He weaves this psychedelic holiday tale with humor, heart and booty shakin’ grooves played by a P-funk clad band of top shelf misfits Papadelic affectionately calls dysFUNKtional. Sony Hall will be an ideal setting for Bradley’s favorite two worlds, a theatre with a club dance floor.
Bradley has perfected his funk holiday magic into a Christmas classic, called “A flashy, bass-heavy retro-futuristic take on the holidays” by The New Yorker and “A holiday funk-tacular” by Time Out New York
Tickets for Holidelic are available here.
