The Indiana Memorial Union Board and IU Auditorium present the high-powered funk, R&B, and soul band Huckleberry Funk in Dunn Meadow, exclusively to IU Bloomington students. The live concert is part of IU’s Open Air Venues initiative and capacity will be limited to allow for a socially distant experience for those in attendance. The opener will be Kid Comet, a local band of IU students.

Huckleberry Funk originated in Bloomington and their live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting and entertaining live performers in the Midwest. With members from Long Island, Indianapolis, and Bloomington, the band has been able to bridge a love for gritty, groove-centric music and perfectly blend it with sultry R&B roots, all while sprinkling in elements of hip hop, rock, and of course, funk.

Audiences can expect powerhouse vocals, face-melting guitar solos, a touch of east coast horns, and rock-solid grooves on any given night. One might also be able to expect a somewhat familiar sound, influenced by artists like James Brown, Anderson Paak, or Miguel, all while still refreshingly original to the core.
