Funky Fridays brings the Gifted Funk Circle to the Showlounge Stage for a night steeped in classic R&B, soul, and disco. Featured performers Lyssa Lynne and DeNita Asberry lead the charge through a set list built for movement—think warm basslines, tight horn sections, and vocal runs that call back to the golden age of funk. The room fills with the kind of music that makes shoulders shimmy before feet even hit the floor.

Dust off your platform shoes and dig through the closet for anything sequined, fringed, or velvet—70s and 80s attire is encouraged, turning the crowd itself into part of the show. Disco balls catch the light, the air smells faintly of hairspray and nostalgia, and the dance floor stays packed as the band keeps the groove rolling late into the night.
