Four years after announcing his retirement with the One Nation Under A Groove Tour, George Clinton is back with another cross-country expedition with Parliament Funkadelic. The summer stretch of 20 shows will see the Godfather of Funk supported by The Motet featuring Shira Elias, Josh Schwartz, and Chris Brouwers (formerly of Turkuaz), Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, and more.
The One Nation Under A Groove Tour kicks off on June 15th with Clinton’s return to New York City’s Summerstage concert series in Central Park. The trek will see stops at The Caverns in Pelham, TN (7/2); the new YouTube Theatre in Inglewood, CA (8/17); and more throughout the summer. In addition to the stable of rising funk and jam acts on board for support, select dates will feature special guests The Floozies, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, and Fishbone.
“George Clinton has singlehandedly done more to push music forward than any other artist I can recall. This tour represents that ‘big tent’ he’s created that includes so many generations,” says Nick Szatmari of Universal Attractions Agency, who has represented George & P-Funk for the last 15 years and helped co-create the One Nation Under A Groove Tour with his partner Jeff Epstein at UAA. Epstein adds “George has influenced artists across so many cultures, generations, genres. Our musical lives would not be the same if we never had George Clinton, and this is a once in a lifetime chance to come together and witness first-hand the next chapter of his iconic career being written before our eyes.”
