WESTSOUND REUNION 2013

Lucky Brown returns to the Pacific Northwest this spring for his annual multi-day, multi-city, multi-venue birthday party known as The Westsound Reunion! The Westsound Reunion is an opportunity for all the members of Lucky Brown's (aka Joel Ricci's) Pacific Northwest Deep Funk Community to come together and have a good old-fashioned festival, dance party, concert and show.  The Westsound Reunion is also an opportunity for the different groups to share their new 45s and other recordings.  Expect rhythmic exploration, harmonic surprises and deep dark heavy danceable grooves. The Lucky Mystery Now Orchestra will present for the first time on stage all current members of the Westsound Union performing at the same time.

This year, the two-day event will be held Friday, May 10th in Seattle at Nectar Lounge & May 11th at Wild Buffalo, Bellingham. 

Both events will feature The Lucky Mystery Now Orchestra - an art-funk supergroup fusing members of Polyrhythmics with original members of Lucky Brown's Band. 

Delvon Lamarr, Ben Bloom & Ollie Klomp's true-school funk trio: Rippin' Chicken.

Bloom's soul-jazz unit - representing the rhythm section for Polyrhythmics: Unsinkable Heavies.

And warming it up will be Lucky Brown's songwriter/soul outfit The Bucks.

A special treat for the Seattle show will be DJ Izzy*Wise in the breaks. Isaac Weiser is an original member of Lucky Brown's Funk Revolution, he will be flying in from his home in San Francisco.

And for the Bellinghamsters, a special set by Seattle's Deep Funk Darlings themselves: Polyrhythmics!
