A very special Ipso Facto performance featuring all original members! The band makes a rare appearance to honor recently departed former Dakota Executive Chef Remy Pettus on his birthday. Also, they will invite old friends Jellybean Johnson (guitar), Bobby Vandell (drums), and Brian Ziemniak (keyboards) to join them. Additionally, they will play some new Wain McFarlane songs with which Chef Remy collaborated on lyrics.Ipso Facto is a Minneapolis-based reggae/funk/jazz band that has played for audiences worldwide. The rock-style reggae band was formed in 1986 by three brothers: Wain, Juju and Greg McFarlane.
Wain McFarlane, the Dreadlock Cowboy, serves up a unique fusion of sounds. Here, he blends his paternal Jamaican roots, reggae legacy and maternal lineage gospel-blues-jazz of his birthplace, Kansas City. His eclectic performance drives guitar-propelled examination of Mississippi Delta field music, conjuring revelations of timeless spirit. From the drum-summoned ancient past to cosmic futures, Wain indeed delivers the musical, the magical and the mysterious. Moreover, he does this with a sense of urgent abandon beneath a knowing smile that captivates, illuminates, transforms and satisfies.
His performance features classic Ipso Facto block-buster songs and new material. As always, expect master-class improvisation that breathes in the energy of the moment. Further, he delivers an experience that wrings familiarity from music being newly minted in live performance. Thus, he taps the hidden power of songs we thought we knew.
Falling in love with the electronic music scene at a fragile age, Rion finally started pursuing his dream career at the age of 15. He’s perfected his craft ever since and now, with his debut releases “Genesis” (ft. Sandro Silva & Max Adrian) & “Aware” (ft. Max Adrian & Antheros), he’s ready to take over the dance scene.
