Live on the Plaza: The Smoogies
This event has passed.
Dynamic quartet The Smoogies bring their electrifying fusion of funk, afro-cuban, and Brazilian rhythms to the Thomson Plaza for the Arts on Wednesday, January 24 for the Arsht Center's Live on the Plaza outdoor music series. This diverse group of talented and formally-trained multi-instrumentalists includes Vaughn "V.KEYS" Henry (keys, vocals), Dion Kerr (bass), Harvel Nakundi (drums, percussion) and David Chiverton (drums). Collectively, The Smoogies have performed with renowned acts like Lauryn Hill, Snarky Puppy, Ghost Note, Marcus Strickland, Etienne Charles and Godwin Louis, among others. The band recently won the "Jazz Road" touring grant, which enabled them to embark on a debut tour for their second album, People Music.
