From Dayton with Funk

Dayton is about to get funky

This fall, Dayton will be treated to a funky feast for the ears and eyes at From Dayton with Funk, a joint event between Think^TV and The Brightside. At this dual concert/documentary screening, fans will be treated to performances by three live funk bands, food trucks, and a look at Dayton in the PBS documentary WE WANT THE FUNK!

WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown’s dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton’s Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat, the story also traces funk’s influences on both new wave and hip-hop.
