At MUSE artistry is human, and everyone holds a piece of the creative puzzle. Dancers, DJ's, and musicians have the opportunity to explore edges, find center, and celebrate vitality. DaFunk Tank - Hosted and curated by Michael Galen, DaFunk Tank is a re-occurring event seeking to cross pollinate the local music scene. Musicians who have never worked together are tasked with creating a set-list, learning the tunes on their own, rehearsing one time, and then putting on a killer funk/soul show. Please know, this is a bare foot, sock foot, and dance-dedicated-shoe space--no street shoes please. ENTRY is on SE 2nd just north of Madison..when you arrive, look for the Ripe & Ready poster signs.
