Day in and day out I’ve been at this and let me just say it was well worth it.
I didn’t initially plan to go out last weekend, but my younger brother had mentioned to me that there was a funk band from Cali coming to play at Wynwood Yard that I really should check out. It was an automatic, “hell yeah, I’m down”. Who turns a good funk band? So off we went to the yard and I found myself excited. I wasn’t sure how much shooting I was going to be able to do since I knew for a fact I would be dancing but, I did shoot. I danced a bit, too. Okay, that’s a lie. I danced a lot. Everyone was dancing and the vibe was amazing throughout the entire yard.
They were phenomenal.Polished and perfect. The entire band was on point with not one weak link to be found. From the vocals to the insane guitar solo and incredible work on keyboard and bass, That Main Squeeze had it on lock. Seriously. It is few and far between that I find myself enjoying a live show that much.
The part I found insane about it all was that despite the fact they are presently touring nationwide just having performed at Red Rocks, the show at the Yard was free. I would have easily paid on any given day to go see them live. You can’t even begin to imagine how much better they are live than on recording. Best part about it all was that despite playing all originals the entire night, they chose Redbone from Childish Gambino. That’s my jam. I just have to say Wow. But this isn’t about my love of funk. This is about the photos, right?
Well, I picked out a few favorites for you all to see here however please make sure you stop by my Facebook page for the whole set. Let’s see how you like them.
Thanks so much for this blog. We were proud to have The Main Squeeze at The Yard and look forward to a lot more great acts for you to see for free! (Um,,, like The California Honeydrops on Friday 10/20 and Zach Deputy on Sunday 10/22;)
