The Session Room @ HopMonk Tavern- AFROFUNK EXPERIENCE+ MISSION PLAYERS

Door: 8pm| Show: 9pm
Cost: $ 15| 21+

The Afrofunk Experience, recent winners of The NAACP Image Award's Outstanding World Music Album "Black President" and winners of The SF Weekly Music Award's Best International Act, were the band behind Sila and the Afrofunk Experience for 7 years, providing songs and killer grooves for Victor Sila Mutungi, and being dubbed "The Bay Area's Dance Kings" in the process. Delivering home grown AFROFUNK, AFROBEAT, REGGAE, AND ORIGINAL BAY AREA FUNK, the ensemble's well-balanced instrumentation of dual guitars, bass, drums, percussion, trumpet, and saxophone ensures a wide dynamic range.

MISSION PLAYERS:San Francisco's The Mission Players have established themselves as one of the best live acts around. Their infectious grooves melodically, harmonically and rhythmically blend soul, funk, jazz and blues. "The Mission Players slap on some fresh treads and nice rims and cover ground like champs"- Dennis Cook, Jambase.com, Cook's Corner. 
THE MISSION PLAYERS:
Mike Mulqueen (Guitar/Lead Vocals)
Greg Garvey (Bass)
Jason Movrich (Guitar/Vocals)
Erik Mekkelson (Tenor Saxophone)
Jesse Hiller (Drums)
