Galactic bring New Orleans funk to the Big Apple.

Following their Lundi Gras show and post-show Mardi Gras celebration, Galactic found their way up to New York City’s Terminal 5 to share some of the funk in a colder climate. Openers the Soul Rebels Brass Band and Steel Pulse got the party started around 8 and the headliners were on around 10:45. Of course, everyone was invited, and it wasn’t long before Corey Glover and the Soul Rebels came on stage to help keep the music flowing.

From forward looking hip-hop and R&B to deep explorations of traditional roots music... from psychedelic pop masterpieces to ruminations on the economy, family, aging and disfunction... from genre-busting electronic music and jazz to rockin' indie... 2012 was a great year for new music.
