George Clinton And Parliament Funkadelic Continue The Groove

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic resume their “One Nation Under A Groove Tour” June 15 at Summerstage in New York City’s Central Park and running through at least Aug. 21 at Charles Krug Winery in Napa, Calif., with stops including The Caverns in Pelham, Tenn., and The Fillmore in Philadelphia and YouTube Theater in Inglewood, Calif., in between.

Special guests appearing with the luminaries of the funk and jam world include The Motet, Dopapod and The Pimps of Joytime with Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, The Floozies and others to be announced appearing on select dates.

Presale tickets are available Wednesday, March 23 with general public onsale beginning noon EST at the tour’s website.

Clinton may have announced his retirement in 2018, but the demand for the “One Nation Under a Groove Tour,” which sold out amphitheaters nationwide in 2019, was such that The Godfather of Funk decided to continue the party into 2022.

Clinton’s career spans more than 50 years since getting his start as a songwriter for Motown and creating his own universe with genre-bending incarnations like Parliament, Funkadelic, P-Funk and now Parliament-Funkadelic and staging epic tours like the “Mothership” extravaganza in the 1970s. He discovered Bootsy Collins, produced Red Hot Chili Peppers, and won a Grammy Award with Kendrick Lamar for the album To Pimp A Butterfly. He’s influenced generations of artists like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and many others who sampled his music. Nick Szatmari of Universal Attractions Agency

“George Clinton has singlehandedly done more to push music forward than any other artist I can recall,” agent Nick Szatmari of Universal Attractions Agency says. “This tour represents that ‘big tent’ he’s created that includes so many generations.”

Szatmari and Universal Attractions Agency have represented George Clinton and the band for the last 15 years and helped co-create the “One Nation Under A Groove Tour” with his agency partner Jeff Epstein.

“George has influenced artists across so many cultures, generations, genres,” Epstein adds. “Our musical lives would not be the same if we never had George Clinton, and this is a once in a lifetime chance to come together and witness first-hand the next chapter of his iconic career being written before our eyes.”
