From opening for the legendary James Brown to spinning beats across the globe, his talent knows no boundaries. His music has left its mark on commercials, TV, movies, and even landed him a spot on the iconic Breakspoll Top 50 list and in The Little Big Beat Book. A true connoisseur of sound, Rusty blends a kaleidoscope of musical influences into tracks that are irresistibly funky, endlessly fun, and undeniably fresh. https://soundcloud.com/all-good-funk-alliance Glamour Muscle - Glamour Muscle is an elite team of musicians that have left behind their lives as former bodybuilding competitors, and retired oil boys. This quartet brings you a pumped up protein shake of spiritual jazz, 60s soul, and funk grit. Composed of Nevada musicians, Alex Korostinsky, Mark Sexton, and Chris Sexton (Whatitdo Archive Group, The Sextones) and Canadian-born Reno transplant, Dan “Tall Dan” Chown (Tasmic). The Glamor Muscle crew is an unapologetic serving of funk and soul paying homage to the great behind the scenes studio bands of the 1960s and 1970s. Motown had the Funk Brothers, LA had the Wrecking Crew, and the high deserts of Nevada have Glamour Muscle. https://soundcloud.com/sextonselections FunksAlive - FunksAlive is a Reno based live-electronic quartet that features the dynamic synergy of Isaac “Funksalot” Freed with his masterful selections/remixes/blends fused with the instrumental prowess of Lucas Arizu (guitar/flute), Karl Busch (saxophone/flute) and the rhythmic mastery of Miguel Jimenez-Cruz (drums). The group brings a funky-fresh sound with samples flipped alongside live improv, tasty arrangements, and high-voltage solos. FunksAlive is a blend of raw energy and refined talent, delivering a sound that's nothing short of a funky, bass-driven explosion! https://www.funksalot.com/funksalive DJ Mutable - DJ mutable lives by the belief that musical self expression has the power to change lives, just as her DJ alias reflects transformation and adaptability in its meaning. Drawing on her roots in the Soviet Union, where music was censored by the regime, leading enterprising music lovers to figure out how to record it onto discarded x-rays and share the bootlegs in the "Bone Records" phenomenon, she embodies a commitment to sharing music without restraint. This history fuels her passion to adapt to any threats to self-expression, and in turn uplift and unite communities. With a nod to the irony of the word "mutable" seeming to allude to being silenced or muted, she declares with conviction that she will continue being expressive and amplified. https://soundcloud.com/djmutable/tracks By attending, you’ll be helping The Beauty Project Foundation provide beauty and self-care services to individuals experiencing financial distress. 💖 You can find more information about our organization here: https://www.thebeautyprojectsalon.com/payitforward
