Funkademic is a Rhode Island-based band playing funk, soul, pop, and R&B on period-correct instruments. Founded at Brown University in 2019 by professors and members of staff. Jeanine and I traveled to Providence, Rhode Island for an outdoor concert on the grounds of the John Brown House Museum. We enjoyed a picnic dinner with our good friends Alex and Lou Ann ending the evening with a visit to Prospect Terrace which offers a commanding view of the downtown area. The illuminated spires belong to the very first Baptist church built in America.
