In a funk-filled night at Whiskey Dick’s Saloon, three bands rocked into the early morning hours. Grass Valley’s Brandy Robinson, aka the Guitar Mama, joined Phoenix-based Dr. Delicious and South Lake Tahoe favorites Black Star Safari for the high-energy show.

“ DeLaTorre manages the Dr. Delicious band, enjoying its first out-of-state tour. At full strength, the group has 13 players, including a four-piece horn section. Eight took the road trip: lead singer/percussionist Matthew Vaiza, singer Rachel Villa, Kevan Aaron on guitar, Dane Stipp on bass, Lacour Lavante on keyboards, Dean Barker on saxophone, Jared Lester on trumpet, and DeLaTorre on drums.Dr. Delicious takes pride in digging deep for its music, mostly 1970s funk. But you won’t hear this band playing Top 40 tunes.“We do deep cuts,” DeLaTorre said. “We’re really big fans of jazz, funk and blues.” Vaiza has more than 9,000 records, providing ample material for the Dr. Delicious repertoire.On Sunday, the crowd grooved to covers of diverse artists that included Baby Huey and the Babysitters (“Hard Times”), Johnny “Hammond” Smith (“Tell Me What To Do”), O’Donel Levy (“Freedom in Good Times”), and Earth, Wind and Fire (“C’Mon Children.”)
