“The Friday Night Concert Series continues this Friday night at 6:30 at the Weatherdance Fountain Stage in the Ped Mall, right outside the Iowa City Sheraton Hotel.

A Friday Night Concert Series favorite, The Diplomats of Solid Sound will perform in this Friday’s show. The band is best known for sifting through American soul to find their own sound. The result is a spare but spicy groove that is equally stirred by the likes of Booker T., James Brown and The Funk Brothers.

In 2007, The Diplomats expanded their family and created The Diplomettes — an all-female group of soul-stunners. This supercharged group is a dance party in a jewel box, guaranteed to groove its way into your head and your feet — and get both moving fast!
