Today Working Californians (WCA) announced that tickets are now on sale for its 5th annual live Labor Day benefit concert, Labor Day Music Festival, set for September 5, 2016 at the LA Memorial Coliseum's Exposition Park.

This funk show was one of the most powerful shows that I have ever seen. Turkuaz is the best and hottest funk band in the world at this moment. There is no doubt in my mind. The Nth Power is not very far behind them in their mastery of their cross genre collaborative. Both of these bands days of playing in small venues like the Fox Theater in Boulder, are numbered.
