Get ready for a night of fearless funk, deep grooves, and serious musical firepower at De La Luz Soundstage when Danny Bedrosian & Secret Army take the stage. Best known as a longtime keyboardist and musical force in Parliament-Funkadelic, Danny brings the unmistakable spirit of P-Funk into a sound that’s wholly his own: psychedelic, soulful, improvisational, and relentlessly alive. As if that weren’t enough, Danny is also celebrating his new book, giving fans another window into the mind of one of modern funk’s most fascinating creative voices.
Secret Army is no ordinary backing band. This is a powerhouse ensemble built for exploration, blending cosmic funk, jazz-fueled improvisation, heavy grooves, and moments of pure musical lift-off. Whether you come for the deep pocket rhythms, the virtuoso musicianship, or simply to witness where the music goes when no one puts up guardrails, this promises to be a set that rewards adventurous ears and dancing feet alike.
Opening the night are Valley favorites Free Range Cats, a collective whose members have been shaping the local music scene since the early ’90s through legendary bands including Big Bad Bullocks, King Radio, Lisa Palumbo Band, and The Equalities. Their sound slips effortlessly between Afro-groove, New Orleans funk, soulful slow burns, and wild left turns into the unexpected, powered by sax, guitar, and the unmistakable shimmer of the MalletKAT. Always evolving and impossible to pin down, they’re the perfect launchpad for an unforgettable night at De La Luz.
