Big Sam's Funky Nation Dew Drop Inn Revival presents coming to the legendary stage for the first time... BIG SAMS FUNKY NATION When you think of New Orleans, the citys foremost flambeaux-lit traditions of Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, voodoo, Po boys, beads, gumbo, and second line undoubtedly come to mind. You can also count Big Sams Funky Nation amongst those NOLA treasures.Known for a boisterous blend of funk, jazz, rock, and hip-hop, nothing short of seismic live experiences, and a whole lot of Southern charm, Big Sams Funky Nation might very well be The Big Easys best kept secret.No other place could birth such an undeniable, unpredictable, and downright unique collective.By playing on these streets, you learn how to work your craft and entertain an audience, exclaims Sam. You can go to Julliard and Berklee all you want, but they wont teach you how to rock a stage. It comes naturally in New Orleans. Ive been here my whole life and rocking these streets. Even during Hurricane Katrina, I drove nine hours from San Antonio every weekend for two years just to play live. The sound out here is unlike anything else in the world. Its not just a figure of speechtheres music going all night, literally.
