Do you remember the day when you fell in love with Funk? The day you got on the Loverollercoaster to take a ride. Junebug remembers it well. When the soon to be hit ‘Skin Tight’ from Dayton’s own The Ohio Players hit the airwaves, love hit a sixteen year-old Junebug right in the face in the form of a shy, yet stunningly beautiful girl named Elley. Junebug would spend the next decade pursuing the loves of his life – Elley and Dayton funk.
Blame It On The Funk is a stage play presenting some of Dayton’s most talented new school musicians, singers and dancers who will pay tribute to old school Dayton Funk through the performance of songs by the Ohio Players, Heatwave, Slave, Faze-O and Zapp. Join Junebug and Elley on their journey to find love as shared by Junebug with his granddaughter Mia.
