Here Comes The FUNK! Written by : Chason Heins Photos by : Mike Geller Electric Eclectic and Garcia’s have recently joined forces with the goal of taking fans on a weekly musical journey. Made up of a revolving cast of some of the areas brightest up and coming musicians joining together to celebrate the art of music itself. The foundation of this revolving cast centers around the members of ShwizZ joined by musicians from MUN, Consider The Source, The Fundimensionals and The Matty Carl Project as well as several other heavy hitters in the scene, creating this unique musical experience. This past Tuesday evening was their second performance. The group took the stage delivering a night full of Beatles classics their way, with everything from funky bass lines to screaming sax and harmonica sections this was anything but a standard cover show. Highlights of the evening for me ranged from a blissful journey through a 20- minute+ “Come Together” to an impressively deep and passionate “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” My favorite of the evening “Taxman” featured dueling guitars throughout this stellar version which stepped beautifully outside the walls of the original, almost becoming its own unique song before working its way back to the original melody. Rarely do you have the chance to watch musicians from multiple bands interact in this way, creating an exciting ever evolving musical experience. As the group continues to perform and grow they will without a doubt become one of Garcia’s “Must-Attend Shows”, continuing to draw fans out to experience this revolving musical experience. Electric Eclectic performs again next Tuesday February 25th. This time paying tribute to the various performers and bands that have graced the stage of the legendary Capitol Theatre over the years.
