Sharon Jones and the
Dap Kings from Brooklyn, New York put on a late night set
that was the perfect end-cap of four days of music and
festivities for me. The Dap Kings opened (or warmed up
for Sharon Jones as the band's emcee and guitar player
puts it) with a few funky instrumentals before the diva
of funky soul danced onto stage. And the lady sure
can dance! Sharon
Jones and the band put on an intense, high energy show
that is a must see for all music lovers. A short set
that included a bunch of tracks from the group's most recent
release - 100 Days and 100 Nights (2008). This was my second
Sharon Jones + The Dap Kings show in the past year and
I am already looking forward to the next time.
