CEG & Nolafunk Presents Funk Fest featuring Drop The 4, Raspberry Pie and FeelFree

Drop The 4 is a Long Island based band set on defying peoples’ expectations when it comes to Funk music. Since its founding, the band has been driven to strike mainstream appeal while exploring new musical ideas through genre-expanding compositions and improvisation. The band brings together a blend of gritty funk, sultry R&B, driving dance and pop rock beats, and modern jazz harmony that creates a bold sound all their own.

With the sounds of late 70s funk and disco, combined with a humorous lyrical sensibility, Raspberry Pie have been packing dance floors since 2015. Their tasty grooves and singalong choruses can turn any venue into a dance hall, with audience members becoming active participants in a full body funk experience. They've played sold out shows throughout the southeast, and have headlined at several national comic cons to rave reception.

Formed in 2010 in Alexandria, VA on the outskirts of Washington D.C., FeelFree’s smooth sound incorporates hard hitting horn lines, tasteful guitar work, and memorable melodies. They independently released their third album "Define the Free" in July of 2018 after premiering their single "Lonely Life" with critically acclaimed Rootfire Cooperative. The album would go on to win Best Reggae Album of 2018 at Washington D.C.’s 31st annual Wammie Awards. FeelFree released their latest single “Sunday Slow” in February, 2021.
