George Porter Jr. has been a pillar of funk for over 45 years, both in New Orleans and in a universal sense. His work with The Meters stands as the cornerstone of funk music,and he has been running hard with his project George Porter Jr. & The Runnin Pardners since 1990. George is pleased to announce the release of the new EP It's Time To Funk, just in time for Jazz Fest. It's Time To Funk is available in digital format at Leeway's Home Grown Music Network , and in New Orleans during Jazz Fest at the Louisiana Music Factory.

Over the past year and a half, George Porter Jr. has been collaborating with some amazing musician friends, and these four songs are only a taste of the 28 tracks he has written since his last release Can't Beat the Funk in 2011. It's Time To Funk pays tribute to his sentimental side, and it has some solid grooves to get you off your seat and onto your feet as well.
