This past weekend, the annual Sunshine Music Festival returned to Florida, stopping at St. Petersburg’s Vinoy Park on Saturday, January 13th and Boca Raton’s Mizner Park Amphitheater on Sunday, January 14th. Along with the host act, Tedeschi Trucks Band, this year’s lineup included Phish bassist Mike Gordon playing with his solo outfit, avant-jazz-funk mavens Medeski Martin & Wood, contemporary New Orleans funk favorites Galactic, and Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady’s Hot Tuna, and Houston-based soul outfit The Suffers. In addition, it featured relatively rare performances by Foundation Of Funk, a project that features funk forefathers and original members of The Meters, George Porter Jr. and Zigaboo Modeliste, along with a rotating cast of characters on the guitar and keys. The Sunshine Music Festival Foundation Of Funk lineup included veteran guitarist Eric Krasno (Soulive, Lettuce) and MMW keyboardist John Medeski fill those roles.

After sharpening their acts on night one in St. Pete, Sunday’s closing festivities in Boca saw each of the bands on the bill deliver top-notch performances. Thanks to taper Adam Firtel, you can listen to full audio of Foundation of Funk, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Hot Tuna, Mike Gordon, Galactic, and Tedeschi Trucks Band’s sets on Sunshine Music Festival 2018’s second and final day:
