Funk will be the name of the game Thursday night at the 7th Street Entry when 3 hometown bands will bring more brass than the venue probably has ever seen in one night.
PHO released their second album “two” a few months ago and their fall tour will bring them to First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry tomorrow 10/5. Tickets are still available HERE.
We first caught them last December at the Skyway and fell in love. Opening for them will be Black Market Brass and Purple Funk Metropolis.
The youthful PHO has been proving their funky prowess to the national music scene with a powerful live show that leaves crowds in awe. They’ve achieved this stature alongside big names in the business, including The Motet, Dopapod, Dumpstaphunk and many more.
PHO has been acquiring new fans with each appearance, but in the winter of 2016 they attracted a truly unexpected fan when Prince caught a live performance from their YouTube page, which prompted an invite to open for Larry Graham (Graham Central Station) at the iconic Paisley Park in Chanhassen, MN. That performance triggered another Prince Tweet: “Come back anytime. Just Holla.” Having the blessing of “The Purple One” before his untimely death has pushed PHO to continue cultivating the Minneapolis sound’s legacy, and with the release of two, PHO promises to bring a new and exciting brand of funk to the world.”
