FunkDaddies to present show at Amana Performing Arts Center

AMANA — TKM Theatrical Productions presents “FunkDaddies” May 27 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the newly renovated Amana Performing Arts Center, 39 38th Ave, Amana.

FunkDaddies is a funk band playing horn-driven soul, R&B and dance music in an exciting, original style, organizers say. The group was formed with the purpose of bringing the best funky dance music to the Midwest, performed by highly accomplished musicians. Inspired by Tower of Power, Earth, Wind and Fire, and all the great Motown artists, FunkDaddies brings its own irresistible, high-energy sound and first-class stage show to audiences everywhere.

Deb Kennedy of TKM Theatrical Productions states, “We chose this band, because of my background in, and love for, music, and FunkDaddies style speaks to my soul. I have worked with lead vocalist Anthony Hendricks before and he is amazing. We are so thrilled to bring him and these amazing musicians to Amana!”

FunkDaddies has performed for thousands at the Midwest's premiere events, including as opening act for The Beach Boys, 38 Special and Grand Funk Railroad, Iowa City Jazz Festival, Jazz Under the Stars, Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival, RAGBRAI, Coralville 4th Fest, and many outdoor events.

Food trucks will be available from 6 to 8 p.m. Ticket information is available through the links on the TKM Theatrical Productions Facebook events page; email deborahkennedy@live.com or call (319) 899-3799.
