Here and now we invite you to the Double Groove Night - with two fantastic ten-piece bands who have earned their spurs all over the region and at the pre-festival. Funk You and Evolver are sure to get you dancing and grooving along.
"From Kingston to Karlsruhe" is the Funk You motto, from reggae and ska to German hip hop, rock, pop, soul and funk, everything is on offer to get your ears and legs pumping. With unbridled joy of playing and unmistakable fun in making music, Funk You have been reliably providing atmospheric and wacky concert evenings for 20 years. Songs by Seeed, Amy Winehouse, Kool & The Gang, James Brown and Sting are just as much a part of their repertoire as songs by the Jackson Five, the Busters, the Fantastische Vier and Jan Delay. Evolver with their mixture of acid jazz, funk and soul are very groove-oriented. The song selection includes pieces by Lonnie Listen Smith, Gil Scott Heron, Jamiroquai, Amy Winehouse and Corduroy - some of them played originally, some reinterpreted. The Afro-American influences of blues, rhythm & blues and gospel are mixed with the further developments of soul, jazz, funk, hip hop, rock and also many Latin elements to create a hot groove mixture that is sure to leave no dancing leg unmoved.
