The VLF Trio mixes up funk, soul, blues, and reggae into an instrumental groove stew. Bloomington’s John Valdez has drummed in our town’s best jazz, funk, and soul bands — plus is a regular performer in Cardinal Stage musical extravaganzas. Funk-master Park Law studied bass with Victor Wooten and has toured extensively in rock and soul bands. Guitarist Jason Fickel performs with Jason & Ginger, the WFHB Firehouse Rounders, and has provided live guitar accompaniment for silent films (Dreyer, Morrison, Hoyt) at the IU Cinema. As the VLF Trio they bring it all together for a dynamic array of originals plus tunes by the Georges (Gershwin, Boy, Michael), Morganfield, Meters, Marley, and more!

Join the community in a celebration of the fantastic volunteer spirit that makes Bloomington special. The Be More Awards, sponsored by the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network, honor individuals and groups nominated for their dedicated community service. Ten Be More Award recipients earn $500 each from the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County for the nonprofit organizations where they donate their time and talents.
