[FUNK] Though not an original member of Parliment Funkadelic—the legendary funk band headed by George Clinton—singer and actress Kim Manning has been an indispensable figure for the group, adding beautiful soul vocals to P-Funk’s already soulful and funky sound. She says she joined the group shortly after a random encounter at a live show. Clinton brought her up on stage and “baptized” her in front of the crowd. She later jammed with the band and soon found herself on the phone with Clinton, who asked her to join the group in 2001. As a solo artist she has worked with bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the String Cheese Incident, and even Snoop Dogg. As an actress she has appeared on television shows like The Bernie Mac Show, Boston Public, and The Man Show. Now she’s touring behind her latest pop-tinged funk album, Space Queen. Kim Manning returns to Duke’s Bohemian Grove Bar on Sunday, February 15 for a special show featuring Preach Freedom of Rusted Root and Critt’s Juke Joint.
