Springs , NY 12866 Cost: $12 Advance / $15 Day of Show A saxophone
legend, Berklee alum, and all-around funk genius, Sam Kininger has
been in legendary funk/soul groups since the beginning, including, but
not limited to Lettuce, Soulive and the Brotherhood of Groove. He
has also performed with the likes of Dave Matthews, Wyclef Jean and DJ
Quick. As a solo artist Sam Kininger has developed a distinctive,
organic sound on the saxophone that is strongly expressive. He
consistently demonstrates his technical dexterity and rhythmic
precision while maintaining an honest and innovative exploration of
musical improvisation. His debut, self-titled, album includes
completely original instrumental funk/jazz compositions. The grooves
are intense and the solos are aggressively rhythmic and deeply
soulful. Loaded with guest musicians, Sam Kininger’s album features
some of the most talented musicians on the scene, including Eric
Krasno and Neal Evans (Soulive), the legendary Fred Wesley (George
Clinton’s Parliament and James Brown’s JB’s), Adam Deitch, Adam
Smirnoff and Ryan Zoidis (Lettuce), Joe Russo and Marco Benevento
(JRAD), Nikki Glaspie (Beyonce / Nth Power) and more! Sam Kininger’s
original funk band, which also features Amy Bellamy (keys) and Aaron
Bellamy (bass) of The A-Beez, Jeff Lockhart (guitar) and Beyonce / Nth
Power drummer, Nikki Glaspie (as well as an assortment of other
rotating musicians), has been blowing away audiences with their
high-energy funk for about 15 years. They have performed at many
festivals throughout the country, including The New Orleans Jazz
Festival (LA), The North Beach Jazz Festival (CA), Gathering of the
Vibes (CT), Bear Creek (FL), Strange Creek (MA), Berkfest (MA) and
Sunset Jazz (St. Croix, VI) to name a few. They have also had
successful shows in clubs such as The Blue Note (NYC), Higher Ground
(VT), The Elbow Room (CA), Tipitina’s (LA) and many others. Don’t
be surprised if some heavyweight players make sit-in appearances at
their shows, and be less surprised if you find yourself dancing like a
maniac. This is a must-see show, so grab your friends and make it a
night out of dancing, drinking and funking. Tags: Downtown Saratoga
