The Nth Power / Fat Bradley
Hawks & Reed Performing Arts Center is proud to present New Orleans funk and soul outfit The Nth Power. Local funk band Fat Bradley will also perform. The Nth Power is a relentlessly funky and soulful band that believes in music as a higher power—tapping into an energy that is simultaneously sexy and spiritual, with songs that will inspire audiences to dance, groove, make love or just stand there with goose bumps. Female powerhouse Nikki Glaspie was Beyonce's world-touring drummer for five years before she joined Ivan Neville's New Orleans funk outfit, Dumpstaphunk. Bassist Nate Edgar of Groovechild and John Brown's Body perfectly compliments singer and guitarist Nick Cassarino, who came from the Jennifer Hartswick Band and toured with Big Daddy Kane. West African master percussionist Weedie Braimah brings his insurmountable world beat rhythms to the mix. The newest member, Courtney J'Mell Smith, brings his soulful vocals and keyboard abilities to the table. Western Mass-based Fat Bradley delivers a fresh take on funk with engaging compositions and pulsing groove. “It is our duty to move that booty.”
