Funk n Future Festival Feb 26 - We taking Funk to another place! 

Attn Funkateers: Your tickets are awaiting you in this worldwide hybrid event. Be a part of history NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. “Put a glide in your stride, a dip in yo' hip and come on to the mothership”.

The Funk n Future Festival (February 26th) is the premier event for MaxDistro in conjunction with Black Futures Week. We are putting on a one day festival in collaboration with P-Funk era Funkateers live in-person in Durham, NC, Hartford, CT, live-streamed and of course...in the METAVERSE!

Our event is dedicated to celebrating and preserving the legacy of Funk music and its ties to technology and afrofuturism. We'll feature performances from New Funk artists Zack Roberson & The Nappy Head Funk Army and ToNY CaMM & The Funk Allstars, paying homage to the Funk of the past and present, and passing the mantle on to the next generation. We offer three unique ways to experience the event: in-person, televised worldwide, and virtual in the Metaverse.

In addition to passing along the art of Funk to a new generation, this event supports kids in technology; a portion of the proceeds will go to the Aisymmetry Youth Group Durham NC. Their mission is to help students realize the value of essential STEEM skills through robotic coding, game design and designed thinking session. We're adding a little bit of Funk to the syllabus. Expect to see cyber robotics and drones programmed to a funky beat.

Your ticket gains you access to the concert, the live-stream and general access to the Metaverse experience. Ticketholders will receive access to the streamed content from MaxDistro Worldwide after the event.

Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind celebration of funk music and technology. Let's get funky and celebrate the future together!

New Lynchburg Jazz venue prepares for Sold Out opening weekend. 

.                         Tony Camm tests the stage lighting at the new Jazz@720 venue.

Jazz@720, Downtown Lynchburg's new live music and event venue opens this weekend and it's idea creators are ecstatic that both shows on Friday and Saturday are sold out.

A great start for a concept that didn't even exist a month ago, and was born out of a lunch conversation between local entertainerpreneur Tony Camm and the owners of the 720 Commerce Street space and Mission House Coffee.

The idea was for a collaborative event space in the newly renovated building that would satisfy a few goals...breath life into an empty space, give local jazz musicians a recurring place to perform, and bring a new form of recreation to Downtown.

Mission accomplished, as the advanced ticket sales for this weekend have reached the 70 ticket capacity days before opening.

Camm has enlisted the help of his wife Jacqui, former business partner Michelle Johnson-Lane (with whom he operated the Mezzanine Performance Cafe in that same space back in 2008), local musicians Josh Barling and Lew Taylor, as well as a host of friends and family members to transform the space and have it show-ready by opening date.

The venue will play host to many variations of events...music, art shows, pop-up shopping, poetry and more, all branded with the @720 moniker.

Info and tickets for all events can be found at cammentertainment.com/720

.                          Furniture and lighting almost complete at the @720 venue in Downtown Lynchburg.

 

Concerts For Causes Event Presents Instruments To Lynchburg Kids! 

Concerts For Causes, Inc. and ToNY CaMM Entertainment, LLC. presented a dozen musical instruments to deserving Lynchburg students during their recent Lynchburg Food, Wine, Funk, Jazz and Blues Festival held on October 15 at Riverfront Festival Park.

Flutes, keyboards and several violins were among the brand new instruments presented to students from our community, most of whom were identified by Dr. Sterling Wilder at the Jubilee Family Center.

The first-time Lynchburg event was born out of the relationship between local entertainerpreneur Tony Camm and Maryland-based Concerts For Causes, Inc. CEO Brett Murray, who met several years ago when Camm's band traveled to Bowie, MD for Murray's Savior Bowie Festival, a twice-a-year, two-day festival that features food, wine, artisan vendors and over twenty-five bands, all to support the organization's "Save The Music" initiative.

"Since it’s beginning, the "Save The Music" initiative has given hundreds of musical instruments to deserving students. Many of our high schools have wonderful music programs with dedicated teachers, but inferior or no musical instruments. Concerts for Causes has given thousands and thousands of dollars worth of instruments to the most deserving students in under-served communities across the nation" says Murray.

The Riverfront Park event treated Lynchburgans to fantastic food, wine and artisan vendors, both local as well as from the Maryland area, and featured local bands Flat Five Jazz, Earthbound Creatures and The Funk Allstars, and Maryland bands Steve Leads & Off The Grid and Cymone Lovett & The Dream.

Camm and Murray plan to make this an annual event that grows exponentially in vendors, entertainment, crowd size and of course...instruments for our youth.

ToNY CaMM TEAMS UP WITH GLOBAL NON-PROFIT TO "SAVE THE MUSIC". 

Recording artist and bandleader ToNY CaMM is joining forces with Maryland-based non-profit Concerts For Causes, Inc. to bring the "Lynchburg Food Wine Funk Jazz and Blues Festival" to the Lynchburg Riverfront on Saturday October 15 11am-6pm, to benefit the organization's "Save The Music" program which gives musical instruments to deserving students in under-served communities across the nation.

 CaMM has enlisted the help of his bandmates from the Funk Allstars, along with local favorites Earthbound Creatures and Flat Five Jazz as well as Maryland acts Steve Leads & The Off The Grid Band and Cymone Lovett & The Dream, plus recording artist Shirley Clinton and renowned bassist Robb Harper to bring an entertaining day of jazz, blues, R&B and funk music, along with artisans and food and wine vendors. 

Musical instruments will be presented to students throughout the event and some lucky youth performers will get to sit in with the band. 

Admission to the festival is FREE, but donations to the cause are welcomed and encouraged before, during and after the event.
