Danny Bedrosian and Secret Army

Danny Bedrosian & Secret Army

AKA the P-Funk Rhythm Section

The sound of Parliament-Funkadelic, up close.

Danny Bedrosian has spent more than two decades playing keyboards with George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. His own band, Secret Army, brings together musicians from the P-Funk family in a stripped-down lineup built around keyboards, bass and drums.

For this show, Bedrosian is joined by longtime P-Funk bassist Lige Curry and drummer Benjamin “Benzel Baltimore” Cowan. Rather than the massive ensemble associated with a full Parliament-Funkadelic show, Secret Army gives these musicians room to stretch out as a rhythm section—funk grooves, improvisation, heavy bass and Bedrosian’s keyboards at the center of it.

There’s a local connection, too. Bedrosian grew up in Lawrence, Massachusetts, before eventually joining the band he had followed since he was a kid.

At The Cannery, you’ll be seeing them in an outdoor venue that holds fewer than 100 people—not from the back of a theater or festival field, but just a few feet from the band.
