Funk De Ville promises to return you to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when platforms, flares, and Funk were the passwords to excitement!! Funk De Ville is a 9 piece band with a super tight 3 piece horn section and a funky rhythm section that brings all your favorite 70's songs to life. Funk De Ville's powerful vocals are hard to match. From Sly and the Family Stone, to Donna Summers, to Earth, Wind & Fire, Funk DeVille has a sound that can't be beat. The group features the Reverend Cecil DeVille with lead vocals; “Ms. Soul” Bonnie Gold with lead vocals; “A.C.” DeVille on keyboards and vocals; Maceo “Fill” DeVille on drums and vocals; Gizmo “The Big Chill” DeVille on saxophone and horn arrangements; Robert “Doc Bone” McNamara on trombone; Coop “Bullhorn” DeVille on trumpet; Eugene “Gino” Shively on bass and vocals; and “MC2“ DeVille on guitar.

The concert is from 7-9 p.m. at the Confederate Park located at the corner of Mulberry and Main Streets in downtown Collierville. Please, no pets or alcohol allowed. The park is handicapped accessible.

Of course the concerts would not be possible without the support of the Collierville community, Town of Collierville, Parks and Recreation, Public Works and the Collierville Police Department.
