Get ready for an electrifying night of funk and groove at Vinegar Hill Music Theatre on Friday, July 31st.

A Seacoast funk collective delivering deep grooves, bold horns, and modern soul. Based on the Seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire, Foreside Funk is a multigenerational band bringing together seasoned musicians with a shared passion for groove-driven music and high-energy live performance.

Built around a powerful horn section and a tight rhythm section, the band blends classic funk traditions with jazz, soul, and modern influences. Their performances move from hard-grooving funk to soulful ballads and jazz-infused arrangements, giving every show its own character.

Foreside Funk draws inspiration from artists such as Fred Wesley, Bernard Purdie, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Ray Charles, Freddie Hubbard, David Sanborn, and The Crusaders, alongside modern funk innovators like Lettuce, Trombone Shorty, The Motet, and Maceo Parker.

Whether performing in concert venues, festivals, or intimate clubs, Foreside Funk brings a vibrant stage presence rooted in musicianship, groove, and the spirit of great live bands.

This is a General Admission event, which typically means all theater seats are removed from the floor to create an open, flexible space, with cocktail tables and barstools added for a more relaxed atmosphere. For this performance, floor seating may or may not be removed — the final setup will depend on audience size and production logistics. Theater seating in the balcony will remain in place and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact [email protected] for any accessibility accommodations.

Vinegar Hill Music Theatre is an independently-owned event space located at 53 Old Post Road in Arundel, ME. Our charming, historic barn and outdoor garden provide an ideal backdrop for an unforgettable, intimate evening! Learn more here.
