JME Soundstage Series: Ghost Funk Orchestra w/ Kale That Raps
May 2, 2025 6:00 PM –10:00 PM
New York-based psychedelic-soul group Ghost Funk Orchestra performs at the WJCT Soundstage as part of the Jacksonville Music Experience’s Soundstage Series with support from local hip-hop artist Kale That Raps on Friday, May 2. The brainchild of composer and multi-instrumentalist Seth Applebaum, the band combines elements of psych rock, jazz and funk into a powerhouse live sound. Ghostfunk’s latest album, 2024’s A Trip to the Moon increased the group’s profile, and their reputation as a can’t-miss live band has landed them on the stages of legendary festivals as Telluride Jazz, Treefort, Montreal Jazz and Levitation. Ghost Funk Orchestra is recommended if you like soul-infused rock from bands like Black Pumas, Durand Jones & the Indicators and Say She She.
Opening the show is local hip-hop artist Kale That Raps. The Daytona-bred, Jax-based singer-songwriter and rapper’s 2024 album IT’S PERSONAL finds Kale at his most inventive, combining elements of hip-hop, soul, R&B and gospel.
