Trouble Funk NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

May 30, 2018, Abby O Neill Gogo Washington regional twist on funk reigned in the DMV during the 1980s, and one of the scene s signature acts was Trouble Funk.

Trouble Funk concerts are bona fide jam sessions, so I was determined to squeeze their unrelenting rhythms behind the Tiny Desk.
