Featuring guitarist Nick Cassarino\, bassist Nate Edgar and drummer Nikki Glaspie\, the seasoned trio delivers a transcendent blend of soul\, funk\, rock and rhythm and blues. Multi-part vocal harmonies and elevated musicianship inspires audiences to dance\, groove\, make love or just stand there with goose bumps. \nThe Nth Power’s electric live performances have been flooring audiences ever since the group first aligned in New Orleans during Jazz Fest. After the band’s breakout 2013 EP\, Basic Minimum Skills Test\, The Nth Power went on to release two acclaimed studio albums and two live albums – garnering national coverage in Relix\, Modern Drummer\, Huffington Post\, Glide\, Consequence\, Okayplayer\, Paste and Sirius XM Radio.\n \nThe trio’s individual music credentials include collaborating with artists like Beyonce\, Snarky Puppy\, Maceo Parker\, Dumpstaphunk\, Big Daddy Kane and John Brown’s Body. “It’s my dream team\,” said bandleader and drummer Glaspie. “Each one of us is a songwriter\, so when we get together\, everything becomes that much stronger. We’re going as far as you can go on the planet Earth and playing music.” \n \nThe Nth Power’s inspirational sets have floored audiences at music festivals like Electric Forest\, High Sierra\, Peachfest\, North Coast Music Festival and Hulaween. They maintain New Orleans as their spiritual home\, and the celebratory essence of that city’s music culture is palpable in each performance. Simply put\, there is something pretty magical happening in this band\, and they’re only just getting started.\n—————— \n\nPurple Funk Metropolis is a charismatic seven-piece instrumental group out of Minneapolis blending soul\, jazz\, funk\, and beyond into a raw\, groove-heavy sound. Formed from University of Minnesota jazz circles\, the band has grown steadily since their 2017 debut EP Morsels\, evolving through constant gigging\, recording\, and deep musical chemistry. With a dual guitar attack\, tight rhythm section\, and standout horn work\, their live shows are built for movement and energy.  \n——————The Burroughs have spent the last decade evolving from a soul cover band in Greeley\, Colorado into a powerhouse 9-piece known for their signature “sweaty soul music” and electric live shows. Led by frontman Johnny Burroughs\, whose vocals and stage presence drive the room into a full-on frenzy\, the band delivers tight grooves\, blazing horns\, and a rhythm section built to move bodies. ——————The BZ3 Organ Trio stands as a high-octane powerhouse that injects a modern\, edgy funk aesthetic into the classic organ trio format. Hailing from the vibrant Minneapolis music scene\, the group features three stalwarts of jazz and soul: fiery Hammond B3 organist Brian Ziemniak\, award-winning guitarist David Feily\, and transcendent drummer Kevin Washington. Together\, they defy simple categorization\, seamlessly fusing jazz\, deep funk\, soul\, and R&B with a commitment to dynamic\, spirited improvisation. Known for their impassioned live performances and a focus on collective chemistry—a “symbiotic whole”—BZ3 has been aptly described as “Two Parts Elegant\, One Part Savage\,” delivering sophisticated musical journeys punctuated by undeniable\, feel-good grooves that honor the legacy of the genre while driving it toward an exciting future.——————Hipshaker MPLS | Heavy Funk & Rare Soul Dance Party with DJs Brian Engel\, Greg Waletski\, George Rodriguez spinning Original Vinyl 45s!\n\n———\n\nThank you to our sponsors\, partners\, & neighbors: \nSummit Brewing • RKR Ganja Beverages • Nobool Presents • KFAI 90.3FM • Mpls.St.Paul Magazine • The Zen Arcade • Longfellow Rising • Firehouse Perfroming Arts Center • Lake Street Council • Moon Palace Books • Arbeiter Brewing\n\n \nThe Award-Winning* Under the Canopy series at The Hook & Ladder Theater returns with its uniquely seasonal urban footprint to the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis in 2025.\n \nThe Hook has committed to having a food truck Under the Canopy throughout the 2026 season for our guests.

The Combo will be performing a FULL night of music from these two iconic funk artists. \nWorld renowned Dr. Mambo’s Combo has been performing weekly at Bunkers Music Bar & Grill since 1987 — one of the longest running weekly residencies anywhere in America. The band quickly became Prince’s favorite — playing soul\, rock\, and r&b music with unmatched passion and fire – and audiences have flocked to their weekly performances ever since. In addition to Prince\, many national touring artists often stop by to sit in with the band after their own show —including John Mayer\, Sheila E\, Questlove\, Stokley\, Larry Graham\, and Bonnie Raitt. \nDr. Mambo’s Combo’s ‘Let Me Have it All’ features a diverse collection of songs across the many eras and styles of these amazing trendsetting artists. Sly Stone rose to popularity with Woodstock era hits ‘Everyday People’ & ‘I Want to Take You Higher’\, and took a surprise turn in the early 70’s with the genre defining funk of ‘Family Affair’ and ‘If You Want Me to Stay’. \nRufus and Chaka Khan were one of the most popular and influential funk bands of the 1970s\, with four consecutive number-one R&B albums\, ten top 40 pop hits and five number-one R&B singles including ‘Tell Me Something Good’\, ‘Sweet Thing’ and ‘Ain’t Nobody’. \nThe current band lineup features Julius Collins and Margaret Cox on lead vocals\, Sonny Thompson on bass\, Brian Ziemniak on keys\, Geoff LeCrone on guitar and Peter Suttman on drums. Joining the band for this special performance are The Bangbang Horns (Peter Vircks & Riley Helgeson). \n========================= \nAFTER-PARTY – 10PM Inside Theater(Included with Ticket)=========================BLACKFISH MOVEMENT
