\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud and happy to have worked with artists, organizers, businesses and volunteers from all over the city these past years to create the Funk Parade and secure its place as a pre-eminent music and arts event in the city\u2019s calendar,\u201d said Justin Rood<\/strong>, event Co-founder. \u201cIt brings Washingtonians together like no other.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe started Funk Parade in large part to elevate, honor and convene the city\u2019s music and arts community under one giant banner,\u201d said Chris Naoum<\/strong>, event Co-founder and director of the music initiative Listen Local First<\/strong>. \u201cWe can proudly say Funk Parade is now the greatest one-day extravaganza for musicians and artists in the region. There is no better organization to helm this event than The MusicianShip. Its commitment to fostering and expanding our music community, particularly by reaching out and developing overlooked talents in our city\u2019s at-risk youth, aligns with both Funk Parade\u2019s musical mission and its community mission.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited and honored to take the Funk Parade baton and give it a permanent and lasting home with The MusicianShip,\u201d said Jeffery Tribble Jr.<\/strong>, the organization\u2019s Executive Director. \u201cThe event will allow us to expand our reach and impact in the city, and serve as a multiplier effect for the work we do supporting District youth and musical artists. The community, together with Chris and Justin, have built a truly special thing. We share those values. We look forward to producing this event and helping keep the spirit of funk alive in DC for a long time to come.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The MusicianShip was formed in 2009 and has a leadership team with deep ties to the district, starting with Jeffery Tribble Jr., their Executive Director. Tribble is a product of Howard University and got the inspiration to form the organization at the George Washington University Law School with Dianne Grainger<\/strong> and her father, Gregory Grainger<\/strong>. Dianne tragically passed away in 2009, but a team came together to carry on, creating the organization in her memory.<\/p>\n

Fans of the Funk Parade will remember that last year it almost did not happen. A funding crisis risked ending the festival for good, according to a lengthy statement<\/a> put out on Facebook in March, only months before the festival was set to take place. An outpouring of support from the community in response, including from our local government, saved the Funk Parade.<\/p>\n

Whether or not yesterday’s announcement had anything to do with the 2018 funding scare, one can see how bringing in an established nonprofit with roots in the District could provide some stability and give them a more solid footing. A nonprofit also fits well with the Funk Parade’s mission to celebrate our culture while fostering music and community. We look forward to seeing what The MusicianShip will bring to this cherished annual event.<\/p>\n
