Summer Soundzz: Big Sam's Funky Nation

Pasadena just got a lot more fun. Summer Soundzz brings four of today’s top acts to the Pasadena Civic Plaza so you can get up on your feet and get down to the beat dancing, singing, shouting and enjoying the best summer concerts around.
Big Sam's Funky Nation is a driving force of urban funk. Ryan White, of the Oregonian, says the band is "tight enough (and hot enough) to turn coal into a diamond!" The band is led by trombone powerhouse, Big Sam Williams, formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who the San Francisco Chronicle calls "the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz." Big Sam refuses to let the audience sit still. Between the band's solos, Big Sam's signature dance moves and his distinctive trombone riffs, the energy level is high voltage when this band takes the stage!
Gates open at 6:30pm, Concert begins at 7:30pm
