Description
Welcome to the 3rd annual Funkin' Good Holiday Party! We’ve partnered with the Christmas Family Adoption Foundation to adopt a family in need this holiday season. Our goal is to stuff their stockings with all the treats they’ve put on their wish list but we need your help!
All you have to do to support is come to Mississippi Pizza Friday 12/13 at 8pm and enjoy amazing funky music by Portland's Jay Si Proof and Seattle's Whalien. Ugly sweaters are ENCOURAGED and we'll have a donation bucket at the show for additional charity!
Jay Si Proof
At the age of 22 Jeff Chilton packed his trombone and guitar onto an Amtrak train out of Ithaca, NY to move west following the creative spirit. Countless late nights and jam sessions later, Jay Si Proof was born in 2019 from the soggy jazz soaked dirt of Portland, OR, bringing their “silly and euphoric vibe” (Portland Mercury) up and down the west coast. Described as "earth jazz alchemists" by Vortex Magazine, the band is a true DIY project with 2 self produced EPs, an album, and a performance history including the Skyview Jazz Festival, McMenamin’s UFO Festival, Mojo Family Fest, the Bend Falls Fest, and the Corvallis Falls Fest. Jay Si Proof is led by Jeff Chilton (trombone and vocals) and joined by Lucas James (drums and vocals) JD Erickson (sax and flute), and Corey Heppner (guitar).
Whalien
Since the dawn of humankind, our species has asked one question; "how does one really, really rock?" This question, pondered by philosophers, scientists, leaders, movers, and shakers for millennia, is finally being answered. Whalien travels the globe, moving with the crash of thunder and the poise of the lotus, showing listeners everywhere how to really, really rock. Their high-energy rock fusion will have you grinning, gasping, and dancing!
