… George Clinton, that is, though you may know him as Dr. Funkenstein. The legendary funk musician behind “Mothership Connection” and hits such as “Atomic Dog” is on-Island this week for a live concert and to show his new paintings.

Clinton and bandmates are performing live — the Parliament–Funkadelic & the P-Funk All-Stars FunkFest will take the stage at Strand Theater in Oak Bluffs on August 7 at 8 pm. Tickets are currently selling for $250 each through Inkwell Inspirations, the platform presenting Clinton’s upcoming events.

Clinton is also showing his new and recent paintings at the “George Clinton: Coming Into Being” exhibit, held from August 5–8 at 47 Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs.

“The fact that [Clinton] has been colorblind all his life makes his works and story that much more compelling,” adds Inkwell Inspirations.

  1. Great. At $250 only wealthy tourist might be going. Prices should be more like $50. Thx but no thx.

  2. Ahhh, typical Mark. Artists have the freedom to charge what they want. It’s called capitalism! Isn’t is great living in a country where we have these freedoms? If you can’t afford it, or have an issue with it, just don’t attend. No need for your sour attitude!

  3. I saved up for it. Priorities! Maybe Once, but rarely twice, does one get to be in a tiny venue with a virtual demi-god. I Got Up for the Down Stroke, most fun I’ve had in a long time
