Get Funky With George Clinton At The Newport Jazz Festival

George Clinton is heading to the Newport Jazz Festival on Sunday, August 5 with his Parliament Funkadelic. Yep, you heard me. You have tickets for this right? No, you better get on it. If you, for some reason, have never seen the funk legend do his thing, this is the perfect opportunity especially since Mr. Clinton, who recently released Medicaid Fraud Dogg, has declared he will retire from touring.  

As a wee quirky chick in the 70's, I remember roller skating to "Flash Light" and singing along to "Aquaboogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)” because, well, let's be honest, it's fun to say the "word" Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop! As I'm writing this, I feel the need to blast some P-Funk...forgive and thank me neighbors for getting you funked up.

Folks, get thy booty's to The Fort so we can tear the roof off the sucker together!

The Newport Jazz Festival presented by Natixis Investment Managers takes place August 3 - 5. For more details visit the festival website HERE.
