Additional booking notes
Philadelphia Funk Authority comes self-contained with a pro audio system and basic stage lighting adequate for most indoor performances and many outdoor events. For very large venues and festivals we also work well with sound companies, whether we provide backline or use theirs. We can adapt to most stage situations, but we prefer performance spaces to be at least 12' deep x 20' wide. We prefer two dedicated 15amp circuits.
When working with a sound company we will provide a stage plot and suggested input list.
If outdoor performance is requested, purchaser will provide a leak-proof tent or other coverage, ensuring that all equipment will remain dry under adverse weather conditions and protected from water runoff.
