The vision of Funkfest is three-fold. One, to bring the legacy and the future of funk together in one concert. Second, to invite world-class entertainment that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. And last but equally as important, to constantly extend Funkfest's musical family by introducing new artists every year. In keeping with this tradition, celebrated international percussionist Bujo Kevin Jones (The Isley Brothers, Whitney Houston), Trumpet Player James L Cage III (Stevie Wonder,Aretha Franklin) will be a featured guests and Monster B3 player Kingsley Ettienne will be lending his flair and virtuosity to an already stacked evening of musical talent.
