It’s 1973: The Summer of Love is a memory and Nixon is bugging out in the White House. But the war is over, the California sun is shinin’, and LA is the funkiest town this side of the stratosphere.

That’s the vibe when Brassroots District arrives on the scene. A funk outfit helmed by the fabulously far out ex-lovers Copper Jones and Ursa Major, Brassroots District is making unity and community through sweet soul music from Crenshaw Boulevard to the Sunset Strip.

Now they’ve got record execs sniffing around, a growing fanclub, and a sweet summer gig opening the parking lot for Sly and the Family Stone.

The only thing missing is you, ya dig?

What is this?!

Brassroots District: Live in the Lot Summer ‘73 is an immersive music experience that transports audiences to the heyday of LA’s legendary funk music scene. While a bangin’ 9-piece funk band plays a full concert live onstage, a story unfolds throughout the venue, pulling audience members to the very center of the action.

Is Brassroots District a real band?

Of course they are.

BRD is an homage to classic interracial and mixed-gender funk bands like Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament Funkadelic, and KC and the Sunshine Band.

What should I wear?

This is the perfect time to bust out your grooviest threads! Dressing in your 70s finest will get you deeper into the funk. Mostly though? Wear whatever will have you feeling good vibes. We recommend comfortable shoes - it’s a parking lot after all -  and layers. That Cali sun can be hot in the afternoon, but things cool down after dark.

What should I bring?

The Funk and an open mind, man.

What should I NOT bring?

It’s 1973. The only phone in your life is attached to a wall and has a rotary dial. We kindly ask you to leave mobile phones at home or in the car, or we can provide a blackout bag for you so you’re not distracted during the performance.

Please also refrain from bringing in:

Outside food & drink

Pets

Cameras

Weapons of any kind
