Running the Voodoo Down : Freddie Stone
This episode is a a re-post of Bamm.TV's Running the Voodoo Down. In this exceptional new episode of BAMM.tv’s ‘Running The Voodoo Down’, host Micah Dubreuil and guest host Will Magid sit down for an interview with Freddie Stone, guitarist and founding member of Sly & The Family Stone, one of the most influential groups in American popular music. Hear the story of this Bay Area native, now a pastor, and his iconic journey through music, fame, addiction, and of course – the joys and struggles of family.
As some of you may know, my friends and I are finishing up a record called "Alligator Spacewalk" - it's a sonic journey through time and space encompassing 1920's Jazz, French Impressionism, and Global Beats. Here's our first live show.
 DJing a private event at Holly Farms, Carmel. What a cool space. "Ghanaian Pavane" is the last track on my record Midnight High here's the song paired with Daniel Csobot's amazing Micro Timelapse video. Make sure to watch the whole thing - it evolves slow and steady. Ladies and Gentlemen- Today, I am very happy to launch the World Wide Dance Party Podcast. The first episode is entitled "Funk Tales of the Bay Area". What do Sly & The Family Stone, Afrolicious, Con Brio, Bayonics, The Park,Official Tower of Power Band, Darondo, Digital Underground, The Headhunters, Santana, Afrofunk Experience, Little Sister, all have in common? They are from the bay and they are funky as hell. This episode pays homage to the funky sounds and souls that came out of the Bay Area counter-culture and civil rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s. We also explore the impact it had on more recent Bay Area artists --- such as Digital Underground, Afrolicious, Con Brio, Bayonics, Afrofunk Experience, The Park, and more. Thanks for tuning in! Check it out here.

WORLD WIDE DANCE PARTY: Bay Area Funk Extravaganza! Benefit for East Palo-Based Non-profit Live in Peace
Club Fox (Redwood City), Saturday, Nov 29th, 2014
Featuring musicians who have played with Sly & The Family Stone, Santana, Tower of Power, Graham Central Station and more.
Rustee Allen, Fred Ross, Will Magid, Rickey Vincent , Live in Peace Brass Band, Whiskey Hill
100% of proceeds to support East Palo Alto-based Live in Peace’s Youth Development Through Music program
Redwood City, CA, Friday, November 7, 2014- The World Wide Dance Party returns to the Club Fox in Redwood City with an exciting show to benefit East Palo Alto-based Live in Peace’s Youth Development Through Music Program.
The event honors the global impact of music that arose from the Bay Area counter-culture and civil rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, and invests in the future (100% of the proceeds are donated to Live in Peace). One of the major artists being celebrated is Sly and the Family Stone, the first major American band to have an integrated, multi-gender lineup. Before Sly very few soul and R&B groups delved into political and social commentary; after him, it became a tradition in soul, funk, and hip-hop.
Previous WWDP events in San Francisco and the Peninsula have been sold-out successes, this is a one time event that should not be missed.

Live in Peace Brass Band Whiskey Hill ###  This weekend is going to be a wild adventure in California!
I'm not exactly sure what makes a 21+ festival different than an all-ages fest, but apparently Forever Never Land is the only one in California. Margarita water slides? It's going down near San Luis Obispo all weekend long. I'm playing on Sunday (1pm) with my homey Paul Oliphant on the drum kit. We will be creating a nice 1920s/future funk vibe in the sun. Lineup includes RJD2, A-Trak, Goldroom,and Robbie Riverera AND to me the bonus is you get to relive the 90s with Everclear & Vertical horizon (remember them?!).
