Downtown Augusta becomes a celebration of all things James Brown during “Funky First Friday”, an outdoor street party celebrating what would have been the funk and soul legends 74th birthday. Hundreds filled up the 10th Street block between Broad and Ellis Street for a special birthday cake ceremony that included members of Brown’s band and family. Afterwards close to 4,000 people enjoyed a free concert at the Augusta Common featuring The Soul Generals, Brown’s long-time backing band.
