Foundation of Funk is a live performance project conceived by the legendary Meters’ drummer and vocalist, Zigaboo Modeliste. In 2015, Modeliste recruited bassist George Porter, Jr. – the other anchor of The Meters’ rhythm section – to join him, along with select players who have carried on the funk and jam tradition, in paying homage to The Meters’ catalog in a new and unique collaborative format.
Each round of Foundation of Funk shows has featured a different cast of special guests alongside Zig and George, diving into the extensive catalog of Meters’ tunes and creating unique experiences from show to show.
