KDHX FM 88.1 Welcomes The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker

dynamitesThe Dynamites deliver a tight, horn-heavy explosion of grooves, putting a new spin on retro-style, deep South funk and soul. Front man Charles Walker has been performing since the late 1950s and was deeply embedded in the funk music scene as it built enormous popularity during the 1960s. As the lead singer in the J.C. Davis Band and also with his own band, Little Charles and the Sidewinders, Walker graced the stage with the likes of James Brown, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson, Little Willie John, Otis Redding and Sam Cook. The group is fresh off a European tour and also a stint of opening performances for The Dave Matthews Band. They also participated in St. Louis’ Twangfest 2008.

Doors at 8 p.m., show at 10 p.m. $20 ($15 advance using paypal link below)/21+
