TONIGHT: The Big Payback Halloween Special At The Camel!

by | Oct 31, 2011 | MUSIC

It’s Halloween, and we’re all ready to party. But perhaps a wild blowout with DJs and costume contests is not what you’re feeling tonight. Maybe you’d rather get dressed up really nice and go check out some awesome live music. Not to worry–we’ve got you covered on that as well. Tonight at the Camel, come get on up like a sex machine and dance to the funk soul sounds of The Big Payback, RVA’s premier James Brown tribute ensemble. This ten-piece band will be laying down funky grooves all night, from the big JB hits that everybody knows to deep cuts and rarities to please you James Brown scholars out there, they’ve got it all, and they’re gonna give it all to you tonight at the Camel. So come out and experience the Soul Power live and in person!

WHAT: The Big Payback’s Halloween Special!
WHERE: The Camel, 1621 W. Broad St.
WHEN: Monday October 31, 9:30 PM
ADMISSION: FREE!
