U.S. Pipe is Colorado’s premier funk band, having played everywhere from Aspen's esteemed Belly Up club to Denver's Bluebird Theatre and Boulder's Fox Theatre, winning over fans with their amazing performances, musicianship and positive energy.
This special unplugged performance will be an acoustic funk hootenanny, of sorts, with special guests from the extended Swallow Hill community to explore the roots of funk. Among the special guests are Denver's innovator of the harmonica, Clay Kirkland, master percussionist Ed Contreras, and Swallow Hill school director Michael Schenkelberg.
Early funk songs with gospel, country and R&B influences will be performed, as well as U.S. Pipe's original material. The following day at noon there will be an interactive Roots of Funk workshop and jam (click here to learn more).
