Enjoy a night out with a friend, family member, or significant other!

Snag dinner at the Blue Moose in Lawrence with a $20 gift card! Then, head to the Lied Center for an incredible show featuring Dumpstaphunk and George Porter, Jr. & His Runnin' Pardners! Two show tickets are included (Friday, February 8, 2019).

Dumpstaphunk
Dumpstaphunk stands out among New Orleans' best as one of the funkiest bands to ever emerge from the Crescent City. Born on the Jazz & Heritage Festival stage, and descended from Neville family bloodlines, these soldiers of funk ignite a deep, gritty groove that dares listeners not to move. Their performances combine ingenious musicianship and complex funk and jazz arrangements with soulful melodies that anyone can enjoy.

George Porter, Jr. & His Runnin' Pardners
Few bass players in the history of modern New Orleans music are as storied as George Porter, Jr. During the course of a career spanning more than four decades, Porter has not only made a deep impression with his work as the bassist in The Meters, but he's worked with a diverse who's who of musicians, like Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffett, Patti LaBelle, Robbie Robertson and Tori Amos, to name a few. He is also the bandleader of the Runnin' Pardners, a well-respected quintessential New Orleans band, which continues to receive accolades on the jam band and festival scene.
