Proper Utensils Band ft. Jas. Funk

  • City Winery DC 1350 Okie St NE, Washington, DC 20002 (map)

Washington DC’s Premier “Old-School” Go-Go Band was formed in 1982. Led by DC’s living Go-Go legend, James “JAs” Funk, Proper Utensils produces a version of Go-Go reminiscent of the Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. The band has produced a few hit records including “Georgie Porgy” & “Go-Go Rumpshaker”.
PU is a funky, jazzy, bluesy, creative dance band with seasoned veterans including two members of the original Soul Searchers, Lloyd Pinchback on saxophone and cowbell, and John Buchanan on Flugabone and keyboards. Tony Brown plays trumpet and flugelhorn and Wayne Davis plays bass guitar to round out our brass and rhythm sections.
