SCOTT PEMBERTON BAND & SOPHISTAFUNK @ GOODFOOT (PORTLAND)

The Goodfoot Pub & Lounge, 2845 SE Stark St, Portland, OR


This dynamic show with both SOPHISTAFUNK and SCOTT PEMBERTON BAND is going to be one for the books...

  Until you have seen Scott Pemberton play the guitar it is hard to describe what he does.  His music comes from the heart, is very danceable and quite honestly, no one plays the guitar like him.  He gets regular comparisons to other great musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Dick Dale, and James Brown, but after a brief listen it is clear that Scott has something all his own.   Classic rock, jazz, psychedelia and everything in between collide and fuse around the notion of discovery that jumps with ease from the composer to the listener…Pemberton is a multi-genre master and a clever lyricist who can convey fun while digging deep. Sophsitafunk are another not-to-be-missed act;  the group is the product of three multi-talented musicians who combine spoken-word artistry, old-school hip hop, and funky rhythms to create a unique live band experience.
--Every once in a blue moon, for some inexplicable reason, the Gods christen a nerdy white boy a talented MC, blessing him with tremendous skills on the mic and unparalleled showmanship. It’s a universal phenomenon that can’t be explained, but we don’t bother to question it because usually it’s just too much damn fun to watch--
