It's hard to know what to expect with Midnight Spaghetti & The Chocolate G-Strings. Sheep on shoulder pads. A broken TV wall. The bartender rocking lead vocals for a number. With all the Sesame Street covers, gift handouts, and childbirth skits, you'd think you were witnessing some kind of surreal vaudeville scene.

The experience hits you with heavy funk grooves and massive stage presence. Be amazed as your introverted girlfriend busts windmills down front, because seriously, this music makes you move. The styles get switched up from innovative hip hop, to Latin dance hall heat, back to gritty soul jazz, all flowing in the moment. The vibe is positive, inclusive, and undeniable.

Based in Harrisonburg, VA, their fans are found all over the mid-Atlantic, from Western Pennsylvania to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Whether you ask a jaded hipster, some studio cat, or your grandmother, you know the Spaghetti show is on the top of their list. I mean, come on, you've got to love the power helmet.
