About this concert

BIG SAMS FUNKY NATION When you think of New Orleans, the citys foremost flambeaux-lit traditions of Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, voodoo, Po boys, beads, gumbo, and second line undoubtedly come to mind. You can also count Big Sams Funky Nation amongst those NOLA treasures.Known for a boisterous blend of funk, jazz, rock, and hip-hop, nothing short of seismic live experiences, and a whole lot of Southern charm, Big Sams Funky Nation might very well be The Big Easys best kept secret.No other place could birth such an undeniable, unpredictable, and downright unique collective.By playing on these streets, you learn how to work your craft and entertain an audience, exclaims Sam. You can go to Julliard and Berklee all you want, but they wont teach you how to rock a stage. It comes naturally in New Orleans. Ive been here my whole life and rocking these streets. Even during Hurricane Katrina, I drove nine hours from San Antonio every weekend for two years just to play live. The sound out here is unlike anything else in the world. Its not just a figure of speechtheres music going all night, literally.

Big Sam's Funky Nation has boldly established their presence at the forefront of the vibrant New Orleans music scene. Trombone powerhouse and band leader "Big Sam" Williams has been celebrated as "the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz" by the San Francisco Chronicle and the band has been consistently touted for "bringing a straight raw party" by Jambase. 2010 has already been a busy year for The Nation, beginning with an East Coast tour, ten days touring Greece, a recurring role in the new HBO original series "Treme," various appearances, including an official showcase, in Austin during South By Southwest, a very busy New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and an eventful LEAF: Lake Eden Arts Festival. Big Sam's Funky Nation was branded the "Hardest Working Band At Bonnaroo 2010" by the festival's own publication, The Bonnaroo Beacon. .

the members of the Funky Nation, a group of well trained and experienced musicians with impressive credentials of their own meet the challenge of their band leader. The energy level is high voltage when BSFN takes the stage.
