From the opening notes of “Cissy Strut,” George Porter Jr.’s basslines are unmistakable. As a founding member of seminal funk band The Meters, Porter melded syncopated polyrhythms and grooves inherited from New Orleans’ African musical roots. Now the music legend takes The Barns stage with his longtime band, the Runnin’ Pardners, performing classic Meters tunes plus songs from their highly acclaimed album Crying For Hope that are sure to make you move.
