Whether the neighborhood is downtown DC or Berlin, one thing is universal – music! Funk music! And this is the month of Funk for the Artists to Watch program. We feature new music from Fort Knox Five and from 17 Hippies. And while their styles are wildly different, their respect for the beat transcends all time and space.

This month we also introduce new music from jazz singer Jane Monheit as well as the first singles from Ryan Star – contestant on Rockstar: Supernova. Ryan is longtime user of Ultimate Ears and he has this to say about the product: "These monitors have changed the way I perform forever. It is so much easier now to find myself in the moment and the music to put my best out there to the audience. I love them."

And with that, go out and enjoy the spring and dig out those old funk albums that don’t get played nearly enough. Happy April!
