Concert at Maxwell’s for Hoboken Hurricane Relief Saturday November 17th 7pm

Here is a note from Stephen Bailey, organizer of The Hoboken Music Awards event….

The Producers of The Hoboken Music Awards Present The Hobey Fund and One Kick-Ass Benefit Concert!

In the aftermath of this horrific storm that has effected so many people, stories of musicians that have lost everything are beginning to surface. Saturday Nov. 17 was originally scheduled to be a night of awards and ceremony. However, we at The Hoboken Music Awards feel that, in this time of struggle for so many of our fellow musicians, we should put aside the handing out of awards and concentrate on helping those in need. So the night will now be a fundraiser benefiting local musicians.

We’ve created The Hobey Fund, named after our little statuette. Since the wrath of Sandy started coming to light, we were hearing more and more tales of musicians near and dear to the Hoboken scene who lost so much. Some who lost everything. We know that there are plenty of funds and charities to give to and helping any of them is a wonderful thing. We just felt that not enough attention has been given to musicians, studios, venues, etc who were devastated by this storm.

Therefore we’ve decided that this year’s Hoboken Music Awards night will be a fundraiser to benefit musicians hit hardest by the storm. While handing out awards is fun, we think this is a better way to celebrate local music at this time. We will be handing out awards at a later date. Those details will come soon. In the meantime please come out on Saturday November 17, 2012 to Maxwell’s and show your support.

Details…

Event: Hoboken Music Awards Hurricane Relief Fundraiser

Bernie Worrell Orchestra at Maxwell’s in Hoboken Saturday, November 03 2012, 7pm

Attention funk lovers (and that includes TheBoken.com’s editor) , a funkadelic trip to the past with spectacular syncopated scintillation and just a funking flat fabulous fun filled fest of music will be coming soon to Hoboken with the artistic stylings of Bernie Worrell and his Orchestra…..

Bernie Worrell Orchestra (of Original Parliament-Funkadelic / Talking Heads)
comes to Maxwell’s in Hoboken Saturday, November 03 2012, 7:00pm

Bernie Worrell Orchestra (w/Special Guests TBA) – this is an early show!

Maxwell’s- www.maxwellsnj.com

Address: 1039 Washington Street Hoboken, NJ
To purchase advance tickets: http://bit.ly/BWOMaxwells
Price: $15 Ages: 18+

Rock and Funk legend, Bernie Worell, recently digitally released two songs, “BWO is Landing” and “Get Your Hands Off.” Combing elements of everything from jazz to salsa to funk and soul, these two tracks have something to offer every music lover. Both tracks are beautifully arranged and very danceable, full of energy and are true works of musical genius from a master of many styles. These are the first tracks by Bernie’s current band, Bernie Worrell Orchestra, which he co-produced with Evan Taylor.

How many artists can say they were in on the ground floor of an honest-to-Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame super-group, while inventing a completely original and uncanny sound and, in the ensuing years, built a legendary reputation as one of the most versatile hired guns in the music business? True “funkateers” know the history. From the fat Minimoog bass lines of “Flash Light” and “One Nation Under A Groove” to the percussive piano runs of “Chocolate City” and “Give Up the Funk,” Bernie Worrell is synonymous with the legacy of Parliament-Funkadelic; in fact, he’s one of the originators of the psychedelic funk sound, having written and co-produced the lion’s share of the music going back to Funkadelic’s formative years, with an eclectic ear for everything from Chopin to the Chi-Lites.

These days the terms “living legend” or “funk icon” really don’t come close to doing Worrell justice. “Funk iconoclast” is probably more apt, considering the breadth of his contributions to seminal albums outside the P-Funk canon, including Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense and Public Image Ltd’s Album, to name two of the more monolithic examples. Keith Richards, Yoko Ono, Bootsy Collins, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Mos Def, Sly & Robbie, Deee-Lite, Bill Laswell and many more have recruited Bernie into the studio and on tour—all for his versatility, vision and feverish creativity whenever he gets his hands on a keyboard.

Below is a sample video of one of his performances….
