July 4th FunkDown featuring Dr. Bacon and Al Al & Associates
$10 Cover DOS
DR. BACON is a touring Appalachian Rock, Funk, Grass and Soul quartet. Blending diverse instrumentation, inspirations, and influence allows the band to perform a synthesis of styles creating a unique musical expression.
The Dr. Bacon live experience is truly a spectacle to behold, bringing the audience on a musical journey, caressing ears with lush beauty then whipping crowds into a down-home tribal romp, shaking booties and shedding inhibitions. An undulating wave of energy and styles leads to massive and manic versatility ensuring that no matter what genre of music suits your taste, you will hear something that resonates. Bacon goes good with everything!
Dr. Bacon started in 2012 on King Street in Boone as a 3 piece busking acoustic bluegrass, folk, and 90s pop/rock/hip-hop influenced band. Several lineup changes over the years and a move to Asheville have refined and redirected the bands sound, incorporating funk, rock, soul, psychedelic, improvisation, blues, punk and world music. The blending of several elements of these genres, often within the same song, along with an arsenal of instrumentation brings the real Dr. Bacon flavor. The band tours regularly, up and down the East coast and beyond. With 3 EPs and two length albums under their belts, Dr. Bacon performs an original focused setlist with a rotating and evolving palate of choice covers. Never performing the same set twice and constantly working towards the next musical achievement means that each show is a beast unto itself where you’ll never know what new tricks are in store.
Al Al AND ASSOCIATES is the newest solo project of Grammy Award winning bassist/singer/songwriter Al Al “Sweet Nassty” Ingram.
A longtime staple of the NC music scene, Al Al is a Vibe Guru, Funk Jedi, Groove Wizard, Banger Architect, name giver and founding member formally of AVL Funk staples Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band.
Al Al brings his authentic energy and raw talent to every one of the many many projects he’s been involved with since, and will be backed by Dr. Bacon and other special guests during this very special 4th of July Funkdown!
