6:00 p.m.: fränk funk: Live & Nive – The band that ignites the dance floor
Soul, Pop, Funk and maximum entertainment
The Rhine-Moselle region has a new musical figurehead: fränk funk – a formation that brings three powerful soloists and a top-notch musician lineup to get the party mood to a whole new level. Not your average band, but live & Nive – that’s the band’s motto.
The Sound: fränk funk skillfully draws from the intersection of Soul, Pop, and Funk, expertly mixing rhymes & beats with catchy dance grooves and delivering non-stop medleys that keep everyone off their seats. The result: an electrifying live show that irresistibly pulls party people onto the dance floor.
The Experience: Whether corporate event, city festival, or private celebration – fränk funk makes every event an absolute cult experience. The band knows how to combine entertainment and musical quality without falling into insignificance. When you book fränk funk, you don’t get a run-of-the-mill cover band, but a well-rehearsed group with its own identity and striking stage presence.
