Legendary Meters bassist George Porter Jr. will be honored by Bass Player Magazine with their lifetime achievement award later this year, and Porter will celebrate with a special concert in LA.

On October 21, Porter, along with some very special guests, will play a “Celebration of George Porter” at The Mint in Los Angeles. Tickets for the event are available here.

Besides being a founding member of New Orleans funk godfathers The Meters, Porter has worked with countless musicians and currently tours with the Funky Meters and his own Runnin’ Pardners. Read our recent interview with Porter before this year’s Jazz Fest in New Orleans here.
