As much of Washington DC toiled under the stress of the government shut down, some much needed relief came in the form of the tail wagin’ funk of George Porter Jr. and Runnin’ Pardners at The Hamilton, just two blocks from the White House. Porter Jr. and company tore through Meters classics as well as a variety of songs from his deep catalog. This updated version of the Runnin’ Pardners has been touring together for almost four years now, and they are as tight, funky and on a tear.
