Get ready for a funky good time when Martha High's Funky Divas, backed by the Fred Wesley and The New JBs, perform a power-packed show of hits from those played and sang with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. Martha sang on stage with Brown for 40 years, while Fred is the legendary band leader and trombonist of the JBs era in the 1970s, considered the Forefather of Funk, while taking funk to the next level with Parliament-Funkadelic featuring George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. Both Martha and Fred toured extensively in Maceo Parker's own band.
