The Undergroove band at Lake Harriet Bandshell - Fri, August 28th

FREE.
Music starts at 7:30 PM.
I'll be there by 6:30 PM. Come early, before the music begins,
for introductions and conversation.

The Undergroove band was formed after a great bass player from the funk era, the 70s, decided that it was overdue to resurrect the music that put the U.S. on the map as a dance capital of popular music.
Self-descriptors: funk, soul, rock-n-roll; country, rhythm & blues, jam band, influenced by Sly Stone, Doobie Brothers, Janis, Jimi, and CCR.
The band has two Facebook pages:
[ https://www.facebook.com/TreAaronMN ](https://www.facebook.com/TreAaronMN) (seems to be the most up-to-date) and https://www.facebook.com/theundergrooveband .
I've heard them in person once before and I liked them. Big Mike Mothershed sang with them during that performance but that isn't a sure thing, as I understand it.

I'll be dancing to many of their songs. Feel free to join in or not, with or without a partner. It's typically a fun group-dance happening at Lake Harriet.

Parking:
Pay parking in nearby lots. I can usually find a free spot on the street on the neighborhood just to the west of the bandshell area on Queen Ave S.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket, water, cash and credit card (both is best) for parking, or food.
You might want to bring an umbrella in case a passing rain shower pops up.
Mosquito repellant may or may not be needed, but probably not (your guess is as good as mine).
I use ear plugs when dancing near the band (your call, of course).

Food and Refreshment:
Bread and Pickle is very close by, for meals, treats, beverages, wine and beer: [ https://www.breadandpickle.com](https://www.breadandpickle.com)/ , and there may possibly be a food truck or two there, also.

Weather:
In case of rain: monitor the Minneapolis Parks Music in the Parks Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mplsmusicmovies/ .
If/when I find out about any cancellation or go-ahead the day of this event I'll post a comment on this page with information as soon as I am able.

How to find us:
As you face the stage from the audience look to your right, and behind you, in a shaded area, by or on the small hill. I look like my photo. I'll be wearing my orange-green-red-yellow "jungle leaves" design cap. Look for a 5-ft. green pole with a dark blue pennant on it. It'll be near us.
