Tear the Roof off the Mutha-Sucka!
Funk legend Bernie Worrell, of Parliament-Funkadelic fame, touches down in our fair city next week for what promises to be a multi-media event of pure funksmanship. A new documentary, “Stranger: Bernie Worrell on Earth,” will be playing at the Downtown Alamo Drafthouse on April 11, 12 & 14. The movie features rare Parliament footage as well as interviews with musicians ranging from David Byrne to Mos Def. Worrell will be in attendance for the screenings on the 12th & 14th. And, as always, the Monday screening will only cost you a dollar (but no Bernie).
On top of that, Bernie will be playing three shows next week, at the Flamingo Cantina on the 12th & 13th and at The Continental Club on the 14th.
As most of you know, Worrell is one of the greatest innovators in the history of keyboards and synthesizers. He made music/sounds that, before him, no one thought to be possible. His playing and reimagining of the instruments changed music forever, and his music still resonates today, as he is one of the most sampled artists in all of hip-hop. Come see and hear the Master at work (and play) next week.
“Stranger: Bernie Worrell on Earth” April 11 & 12, 9:45PM; April 14, 7PM Downtown Alamo Drafthouse
Gigs: April 12 & 13 – Flamingo Cantina ($10, Doors at 8:30, Grimy Styles opens); April 14 – The Continental Club (show at 11:30)
