University City Summer Series at The Lawn – BlocoFunk
The University City Summer Series presented by University City District and World Cafe Live is bringing a FREE concert by BlocoFunk, a high-energy, funky dance band with a Brazilian Twist to The Lawn at uCity Square (37th and Cuthbert) on Thursday, June 12th!
From PhillyBloco director Mike Stevens, BlocoFunk combines the infectious rhythms/drums of Brazil with popular tunes from multiple genres including Funk, Soul, Samba, New Orleans 2nd Line and more. All of these tunes are mashed up into one non-stop dance party that anyone can enjoy. BlocoFunk is 12 members strong, with a Samba drum section, horns, bass, guitar and singers.
poetik selektions will kick things off with a DJ set at 5 PM, and BlocoFunk will take the stage at 6:30! Our thanks to uCity Square for being our host and partner for BlocoFunk!
The uCity Square Beer Garden will be open during the concert for pay-as-you-go drinks from Two Locals Brewing Company. Be sure to check them out!
Don’t miss our other dates for Summer Series! We’ll be welcoming Lady Alma and Vertical Current back to The Lawn on Thursday, July 10th, and we’ll be announcing the act for August 21st very soon!
