Maceo Parker: his name is synonymous with Funky Music, his pedigree impeccable; his band: the tightest little funk orchestra on earth. "Everything's coming up Maceo," concluded DownBeat Magazine at the beginning of Maceo Parker's solo career.
Parker has played with each and every leader of funk, his start with James Brown, which Maceo describes as, "like being at University"; jumping aboard the Mothership with George Clinton; stretching out with Bootsy's Rubber Band.
His collaborations over the years have included Ray Charles, Ani Difranco, James Taylor, De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. His timeless sound has garnered him a fresh young fan base.
Chloe Charles | 7:15 pm - 8:45 pm | Millennium Bandstand
Singer-songwriter, classical guitarist, and Julian Lennon’s stepsister Chloe Charles, released her debut EP, Little Green Bud to rave reviews. Her first full-length CD, Break The Balance, is equally impressive. Chloe’s performances are spell-bindingly different and she has been likened to artists such as Adele and Alicia Keys. The National Post describes this recipient of Harbourfront’s Soundclash Award as, “poised, charismatic and quirky. Chloe breaks black female vocalist stereotypes as she arrives on stage with her classical guitar, accompanied by viola, double bass, or other unexpected twists and turns of her musical imagination.”
