Fools Paradise

This weekend St. Augustine, Florida, will host the first ever Fool’s Paradise festival, a two-day celebration of all things funk featuring a pint sized, but epically curated lineup of electro-funk and jam artists. This festival has done an amazing job of organizing an original lineup you can’t catch just anywhere. The first ever GRiZ and Lettuce Full Band set, Goldfish, double doses of Lettuce, Snarky Puppy’s Cory Henry as Artist-At-Large…the St Augustine Amphitheatre will never be the same.

If it’s a good Superjam that floats your boat then look no further than Chris Robinson Brotherhood’s Soul Revue and the late night Fool’s of Funk Supergroup. Soul Revue will feature George Porter Jr. of The Meters, Ivan Neville of Dumpstaphunk, Nikki Glaspie from The Nth Power, Eric Krasno of Lettuce/Soulive, Chris Robinson Brotherhood’s Neal Casal, and The Shady Horns. The Fools of Funk Supergroup will include Adam Deitch, Adam Smirnoff, Cory Henry, Nigel Hall, Weedie Braimah, Eric “Benny” Bloom, and Ryan Zoidis. Late night sets at the Elk Lodge will need to be purchased separately though so don’t slack on securing your spot for Vulfpeck and Break Science on Friday night, and Goldfish followed by the Fools of Funk on Saturday. And if you haven’t caught the Vulfpeck bug yet, then don’t miss your chance to see this soulful band that we can’t stop buzzing about.

It’s not just amazing music that awaits you down in Florida. Saturday afternoon before you head into the fest, why not hit up a zipline adventure with Break Science, squeeze in a round of mini-golf with the members of Lettuce, or even set sail with the Shady Horns? Fool’s Paradise has organized three exciting artist excursions available for festival goers. Sign ups are still open at http://www.foolsparadisefl.com/excursions/.

We’ll see you down in Paradise April 1st and 2nd….no foolin’. Tickets are available at http://www.foolsparadisefl.com/tickets/.
