Tickets: http://j.mp/NP0704

 

Naughty Professor, a forward-thinking endeavor pioneered by six young musicians now anchored in New Orleans, embodies the jazz-influenced party culture of the Big Easy in a constantly evolving, high energy funk outfit. Naughty Professors' love of performances, which weave together complex compositions and loose individual improvisation, quickly commanded the attention of music fans and taste makers. 

 

Their new record "Out On A Limb" was just released on Ropeadope Records, home of Snarky Puppy and they are enjoying a rigorous tour schedule. Naughty Professor has shared the stage with artists such as Galactic, Snarky Puppy, Victor Wooten, Rebirth Brass Band, Fitz and the Tantrums, The Revivalists, Big Sam's Funky Nation, Papadosio, George Porter Jr, The Soul Rebels and many more. 

 

Portland House of Music and Events, at 25 Temple Street, Portland, ME offers live music almost every night of the week and an impressive array of attractively priced cold brews and craft cocktails. 

 

Doors each night will be at 9 p.m., with show at 9:30 p.m. 

 

Tickets are $10 each night, and both events are 21+. More info and advance tickets can be found at www.funk4america.com
