Rock and Roll Hall of Famer George Clinton performs Sunday, July 30 at the Crystal Ballroom,
downtown.
Funk Legend Plays Portland
George Clinton, one of the
foremost innovators of funk
music, and the mastermind
behind the bands Parliament
and Funkadelic, comes to
Portland for a performance on
Sunday, July 30 at 8 p.m. at
the Cyrstal Ballroom, down-
town.
Clinton started his career
with the Parliaments, a bar-
bershop doo-wop ensemble,
which scored a major hit with
“I Wanna Testify” in 1967.
He then began experimenting
with harmonies, melody, and
rhythm, and taking cues from
the psychedelic movement,
forever setting himself apart
from the Motown era.
By the early 1970s, the
group’s tight songs evolved
into sprawling jams around
funky rhythms. They dropped
the “s” from the band name
and Parliament was born.
Augustana Hosts
Summer Party
Augustana Lutheran Church has an-
nounced plans for its 25th annual “Sum-
mer in the City” neighborhood party on
Sunday, Aug. 6 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
All are welcome to this free outdoor
event, celebrating the diversity of our
city. Some of the featured attractions
will be a barbeque, book sale, chil-
dren’s games, and music provided by
some of Portland’s most notable jazz
musicians. There will be a Jazz/Gospel
worship service beginning at 6 p.m.
Augustana is located at Northeast
15th Avenue and Knott Street. For more
information: 503-288-6174.
Around the same time, Clin-
ton spawned Funkadelic,
a rock group which fused
psychedelic guitar distor-
tion, bizarre sound effects,
and cosmological rants with
danceable beats and booming
bass lines.
Clinton has become rec-
ognized as the godfather of
modern urban music, saying,
“funk is the DNA of hip-hop
and rap.”
