The Funky Meters – March 23rd – The Fox Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

25 years ago The Fox Theatre put on the first of many great concerts featuring the legendary godfathers of Funk, The Meters. Last Wednesday history came full circle as The Funky Meters graced the stage once again before a sold-out audience. As George Porter Jr. and the rest of The Funky Meters took the stage, the room erupted with cheers. George greeted the crowd with his soul melting smile and said “Just like 25 years ago, we are gonna start at the beginning” and fired into a mind-numbing rendition of the first song off The Meters 1969 debut album, “Cissy Strut.”
