Freekbass & The Bump Assembly Featuring Sammi Garett Detail Spring Tour 2022

Freekbass & The Bump Assembly featuring Sammi Garett (formerly of Turkuaz) unveiled dates for the first spring leg of their Funk The World Tour 2022 with the promise of more to come. The run, which currently spans March 25 – April 3, marks the return to the road for the acclaimed bassist and his all-star ensemble.

“Playing live is in my DNA, and makes me feel like I am a complete person. The last couple of years have been really tough,” Freekbass told JamBase. “Getting back on the road, and playing music onstage with my best friends is something I am counting the days for. We are playing some of my favorite venues and cites, on this first run of shows, and we have a ‘part 2’ leg which we will announce soon.” Freekbass has put out plenty of new music while off the road including the new vinyl EP, Krameria.

Freekbass & The Bump Assembly featuring Sammi Garett will start the tour with a KISS/Funkadelic Mash-up concert at Cincinnati’s Ludlow Garage on March 25. fifteenTWELVE in Louisville hosts the group on March 26 before another KISS/Funkadelic Mash-up show in Columbus on March 27. Next up will be a performance at the original Brooklyn Bowl on March 30 which will be Sammi’s first hometown show since Turkuaz brokeup.

The tour rolls on in Wilmington, Delaware on March 31. Additional dates come in Goochland, Virginia (April 1); Roanoke, Virginia (April 2) and Charleston, South Carolina (April 3). Head to Freekbass.com for more details.
