Edible Audible Picnic: Soul / Funk Record Party June 22, 2009

Edible Audible Picnic is a noontime picnic of sonic proportions on Mondays from June 15 through August 24, 2009 (excluding July 13).  This series features cutting edge rock bands, sound artists, audio documentaries, expert DJs, electronic musicians and more.

Edible Audible Picnic draws on the Jay Pritzker Pavilion’s state-of-the-art sound system to produce quality performances for the loop lunchtime crowd. This series is part of a collection of three new Monday series in Millennium Park, which also includes Dusk Variations: A Chamber Series and Downtown Sound: New Music Mondays on Monday evenings, expanding the repertoire of music at Millennium Park. 

This week featuring Soul / Funk Record Party
Chicago DJ’s Rob Sevier and Courtland Green unearth their collection of dusty, rare, and forgotten soul grooves and plant them on Chicago’s front lawn: Millennium Park.  Courtland Green (The Supreme Court) has been a record collector and DJ for over 15 years.  Green is also a founding member of Sheer Magic, the crew responsible for the worlds longest running hard soul and funk night, known simply as "The Soul Party".  Rob Sevier is owner and founder of The Numero Group, a Chicago based record label that re-releases obscure funk, soul and R&B records.
