On September 15, 2018, The Funky Godfather played a fire benefit for Lake County at The Soper Reese Theater in Lakeport, CA. When bandleader Tony 'Macaroni' Lufrano told me about this band, I knew they would bring a "Funky Good Time" and they did! Thanks to Cubby, aka James Brown, our dancers got involved too.
