HOLIDELIC, created by Grammy-nominated singer/percussionist EVERETT BRADLEY (Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, SEAL and more) is funk-lore cleverly told through 70’s and 80’s inspired originals and reimagined classics that celebrate diversity and love as one nation under a groove.
Bradley brings to life the role of Papadelic, funk’s Father Christmas, a combo of George Clinton and a soulful Santa. He weaves this psychedelic holiday tale with humor, heart and booty shakin’ grooves played by a P-funk clad band of top shelf misfits Papadelic affectionately calls dysFUNKtional.
The setting is the best of Bradley’s favorite 2 worlds: theatre with a club dance floor! And after 20 years, Bradley has perfected his funk holiday magic into a Christmas classic.
“A flashy, bass-heavy retro-futuristic take on the holidays.” The New Yorker
“A holiday funk-tacular.” Time Out New York
“Original songs that celebrate diversity.” OUT.com
“Bradley’s tunes will liven up anyone’s familiar mix of music with pulsating rhythms that bring to mind the work of funk and soul greats like Sly Stone and P-Funk and clever conceits that put a fresh spin on familiar sentiments…” Andy Propst- TheaterMania
