We are now heading into the new normal with live music during the Covid-19 era. Live shows will need to be flexible and live streaming is a great way to keep music going. Streams have become essential for live music junkies like RtBE. Things are (hopefully) improving on the pandemic front but live streams will be an option for artists during the foreseeable future. We will highlight various shows/streams/virtual events for your viewing and listening pleasure and as a way to help out the artists. You can check out our weekly Full Show Friday series for concerts from the past and as always, please support the artists any which way you can.
Today we highlight: The Funky Uncle 2nd Anniversary with an All-Star Band
Throughout the pandemic The Funky Uncle has done an amazing job of streaming a show a week and giving proceeds to artists in need in New Orleans. We have highlighted many of their shows in our Live Streams series and have thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to their Wednesday streams.
Our favorite was the tribute to Professor Longhair which was a dynamite stream and a joy to watch.
This will be the final weekly stream but the outfit and support system will not be retiring, they will just be moving to less frequent shows. Enjoy the streams tonight and support the organization in any way possible.
Thanks to the Funky Uncle for all the work they do and all the great nights of music they provided for fans during the heart of the pandemic. To get in the mood here is some video from a past show:
