July 26 - Standing in the Shadows of Motown
Musical Guests: Loveland Duren
Food Truck: Smurfey’s Smokehouse
In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. gathered the best musicians from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin cutting songs for his new record company. Over a fourteen-year period, they were the heartbeat on every hit from Motown's Detroit era. By the end of their phenomenal run, this unheralded group of musicians had played on more number one hits than the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis and the Beatles combined—which makes them the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music. They called themselves the Funk Brothers.
