Opening Rooftop Social: Monday, June 22, 6:00 - 9:00 PM
Kick off the week by taking in some fun and funky music with your wetland colleagues at the Opening Rooftop Social. With views of the state capitol building and Lake Monona, the Rooftop Garden at Monona Terrace is the perfect place to enjoy a June evening in Madison. This event will include appetizers and a cash bar and will be open to all members of SWS and WWA who would like to connect with wetland friends and colleagues. Tickets: $20/person.

The Clyde Stubblefield Band will provide entertainment and inspiration. This band is renowned for their soulful, funky tunes - their contagious groove just may get you on your feet and dancing! Clyde Stubblefield IS the FUNKY DRUMMER! He drummed for James Brown from 1965 to 1970 and recorded such hits as "I Feel Good," "Coldsweat," and "The Funky Drummer." Clyde is the most sampled drummer ever, providing some of the most famous and familiar grooves used by DJ's and hip-hop artists around the world.

In addition to being an international music star, Clyde Stubblefield is a hometown music hero and has been a resident of Madison, WI for more than 30 years. He naturally draws talented musicians to join him in playing funky music. Currently, the Clyde Stubblefield Band sports two featured vocalists (male and female), a three-piece horn section (sax, trumpet, trombone), an organ/keyboardist, a percussionist, a smokin' guitarist and a rock-solid bass who play with the Funky Drummer.
