Get downtown this weekend as DOWN2FUNK returns to the Scarlet Stage on Saturday, August 27. The Scarlet Tavern at 326 Harrison Avenue will welcome back the Colorado native funk/hip-hop band who have a record of working the Leadville crowd into a sweaty mob of groove.

Earlier this month, the band graced the ARISE Music Festival in Loveland alongside Ziggy Marley and Elephant Revival.

In their own words, DOWN2FUNK “is a High-Energy Funk Band born in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. D2F fuses conscious hip hop lyrics, soulful choruses & funky psychedelic solos designed to entertain the party people.”

So do you promise to funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk? The music starts at 10 p.m. on Saturday. It’s a free show, but you must be 21+ with ID at the door. So grab your shorty and come busta move like never before on the corner of 4th and historic Harrison Avenue.  For more info connect with the Scarlet on Facebook: LINK.
