About the event
This is hard funk in its purest form. All-instrumental, deeply locked, and joyfully unruly.
Anchored by a string bass and propelled by a rhythm section that never blinks, the Dirk Quinn Band thrives in the space where jazz dexterity, funk muscle, and jam-band freedom collide. Songs stretch, snap, and mutate in real time, turning the stage into a living conversation. No lyrics required. Every note says enough.
They’re rolling through Cedar Rapids on a cold January Wednesday, and we’re opening the doors to help keep the engine running. Inside, it’ll be warm. Inside, it’ll be funky. Inside, the groove will do exactly what it’s meant to do: move bodies and scramble expectations.
Stay warm. Stay funky. Dirk Quinn Band hits the stage January 21.
