The President has a theme song; Syracuse Football has a fight song,but we think this would be a great welcome to summer song for our city. In fact, maybe Sophistafunk and the 315 Elks Pride Drumline could play the next Hancock Airport musical showcase or open up the Northeast Jazz and Wine Festival.

Michael Doing Michael
Lebron. Kobe. Sting. Prince. Marvin. Oprah.
Some people are just cool enough to be mentioned by first name alone. Here Michael (Heagerty) does his best Michael (Jackson) dance moves during a set by Joe Driscoll (accompanied by DJ Afar) at the Taste of Syracuse.
No Ordinary Joe
Sunday, June 7th, 2015
Syracuse’s favorite Hip Hop/Folk singing/guitar playing/Human Beat Box,aka Joe Driscoll, closed out the Express Mart Stage for the Taste of Syracuse last night. His show caught the attention of stalwart driscollites, innocent by-standers, TV and radio personalities, as well as local musicians. The well-traveled Driscoll, who was bred in the Westcott Nation, recently played gigs in California.
While on stage Driscoll sported a Wes Johnson (Lakers) jersey. This guy always represents.
While in town Driscoll will also play shows at the Westcott Theater and Funk-n-Waffles (downtown).

Jack and Maxwell Brown: Express Mart Erie Blvd Stage, Taste of Syracuse (Friday)
We thought it was generous and down right classy for Sophistafunk to yield some of their Taste of Syracuse: Express Mart Erie Blvd Stage performance to the 315 Elks Pride Drumline last night.
The brief musical collaboration caused a pleasant ruckus.
