Ron and Briana Funk and Agent Cooper would like to thank everyone that came out to support and celebrate The Shawn P. Funk April Fool’s Eve Birthday Ball. You helped us raise $815 for the foundation. Not bad for a Tuesday night! Thanks to all the artists–The MadHats, Noise Tractor, Spike Brandriet, and special thanks to Jim Gerdes and Chuck Will’s Widow. Thankyou, Jim. You are our hero of the day–supplying sound and playing drum tech in a dire, wintry situation. Everyone that came made the event joyous and the bands sounded great! All your continual support means everything.

Thanks to Leland Ruzicka of The Back Porch and Nick Caton of The Spearfish Chophouse & Whiskey Bar. These two venues were Shawn’s homes and look for these concerts to be annual installments, with the 2nd Annual Shawn P. Funk Memorial Concert at The Chophouse in October.

Spring installment fundraiser for the Shawn P Funk Art Foundation with a great lineup of homegrown music to be announced.

Help us to continue raising funds for the foundation to realise Shawn’s dreams of creating free art and music programs for kids, and to convert his Masonic Temple in Newell, SD into a full-blown arts education facility.

We have a long way to go and need your support!

We’re also taking pre-orders for Shawn’s solo album.
