Hazy funk of Sneaky Pete & the Secret Weapons returns to Filler
Sneaky Pete & the Secret Weapons perform with local help from PermaFunk on Friday, January 18th at 9pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $9 in advance and $10 at the door. Doors at 8pm.
Wyoming-based Sneaky Pete is a collective of musicians channeling original music through a lens of hazy funk and unending groove, all witnessed and interpreted from the peaks and valleys of the Rocky Mountains. Their genre-blending sound of funk, rock, jazz, and hip-hop moves from the streets of New Orleans to smoky jazz dives, exotic Latin ballrooms, intergalactic spaceships, and late-night laser-filled clubs. Their latest album, Liftoff, is available now.
Bozeman’s PermaFunk makes music to keep bodies moving and souls grooving! Expect plenty of funky, soulful, psychedelic, and Latin-infused grooves. The band is inspired by the creativity and passion of the 1970s and everyone who participates in the PermaFunk experiment.
Looking ahead, Terrapin Flyer brings a show alongside Melvin Seals on Wednesday, January 30th at 8pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $23 in advance and $28 at the door. Doors at 7pm.
Terrapin Flyer began in 1999 as the house band for the Sunday Grateful Dead Jam at the Boulevard Cafe in Chicago. Through the many associations developed there and many that have continued since, the band has grown into one of the premier Grateful Dead-inspired touring acts in the nation. The band draws from the a variety of skilled musicians including Dead keyboardists Tom Constanten, Bob Bralove and Vince Welnick. They also tour with Jerry Garcia Band organist Melvin Seals and Ratdog guitarist Mark Karan. Additionally, they have done one-off shows with many guest musicians including Grammy Award-winning blues harpist Sugar Blue, and musician, songwriter and music journalist David Gans. The band has headlined major festivals and prominent venues across the nation.
