On December 31, New Orleans’ Joy Theater will present “A Truly Funky Affair” featuring a blending of international funk artists celebrating the history of the genre that has solid roots in the city.

UK outfit The New Mastersounds will return to the Joy Theater for their third consecutive New Year’s Eve show, opening up the night with the West Coast Horns.

Foundations of Funk, a collaborative group made up of The Meters’ George Porter Jr. and Zigaboo Modeliste along with Eddie Roberts and Joe Tatton from The New Mastersounds, will then take to the stage. As the name suggests, the performance will honor the influence that legendary bands like The Meters have had on modern funk groups like the Mastersounds.

Tickets are on sale now.
