Curtis Salgado, Sophistafunk perform at Bit and Spur
Blues musician Curtis Salgado and funk trio Sophistafunk will perform at the Bit and Spur June 8 and 22, respectively. Both shows begin at 10 p.m.
Winner of the 2013 Blues Music Award for Soul Blues Male Artist of the Year, Soul Blues Album of the Year, and the coveted B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, Salgado effortlessly mixes blues, funk, and R&B with a delivery that is raw and heartfelt. With a career spanning 40 years, Salgado earned a reputation for high-intensity performances with a repertoire inspired by his encyclopedic knowledge of soul, blues, and R&B music.
Hailing from Syracuse, funk trio Sophistafunk blends fusion, funk, and hip hop aesthetics with Nintendo-style synths and socially conscious spoken-word poetry to create a dense and virtuosic performance experience that leaves audiences gasping for air. With three-part harmonies and one man holding down both the bass and multiple keyboards, Sophistafunk brings a fluid musical athleticism to the stage that is rarely seen in a three-piece.
Tickets are $15 for Curtis Salgado and $10 for Sophistafunk at the door. Attendees must be 21 or older and present valid ID. The Bit and Spur is located at 1212 Zion Park Blvd. in Springdale.
