STATE FARM FUNKFEST BEACH PARTY AT VIRGINIA BEACH PAUL MOONEY AT CAROLINA THEATRE VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - The State Farm FunkFest, held August 22-23, featured Rose Royce and George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. Funk blends soul music, soulful jazz, and R&B into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music that was a major influence on the development of 1970’s disco music, and has even impacted house music and hip-hop. FunkFest took place on a stage on the beach at 24th Street. Food, merchandise, and dance contests all contributed to a festive, “funky” vibe!
