It was difficult to describe the feeling in the room at The Independent last January, when members of Sly & The Family Stone's original band took the stage alongside more than 150 Bay Area musicians for an all-in rendition of "Dance to the Music."
UnderCover Presents, which invites local musicians to reimagine one song each off an iconic album, has put together impressive lineups before, but organizers really outdid themselves on this one — and lucky for us, they're doing an encore, for one night only. This can't-miss tribute to the Bay Area's funk and soul history should land beautifully with audiences in Oakland as well.
Tonight's tribute show features performances by the Awesome Orchestra Collective, Ensemble Mik Nawooj, Zakiya Harris & Elephantine, Marcus Shelby, Bayonics, Tumbleweed Wanderers, Con Brio, Will Magid, Rustee Allen, Jazz Mafia, and more.
