Dont miss one of the most exciting musical acts in New England today! Booty Vortexs knack for performing vibrant high energy funk, soul and disco precedes their reputation as the craziest party people you can cram on a stage.
This 12 piece funk extravaganza consists of velvety-smooth singing from our four vocalists who wrap around you like a comfortable leisure suit. Backing up the hot vocals is a rhythm section so slick and so tight you can't help but shake what ya mama gave ya, and a horn section that will sear your soul and blast you into the past. Are ya pickin' up what I'm layin' down? Get on board this time travelin' love train!!!

"few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...it is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strakes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current wich can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
