Bringin' the Funk: Chuck Brown

Chuck Brown DCFRIDAY: Local D.C. legend Chuck Brown is coming back to the birthplace of go-go music for the final concert of the Live! On Woodrow Wilson Plaza performance series.

Often referred to as the Godfather of Go-Go, Brown played an important role in the creation of this soul-infused subgenre of funk in the '70s — a development originating in D.C.

While he had an early hit with "I Need Some Money," his song "Bustin' Loose" is now known by locals as the homerun celebration song for the Nationals.

So go enjoy the end of what's been a star-studded free concert series — there's outdoor seating, there are plenty of nearby restaurants and it's fall in our nation's capital. Sounds perfect to us.

» Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; Fri., Sept. 25, 5 p.m., free; 202-312-1300. (Federal Triangle)
