The State Theatre

All of our reservable dining tables have been reserved for this show.  A very limited number of tables is available on a first-come, first-served basis when we open at 7.  We do expect that there will be a line for those tables prior to the doors opening.  There is a $10/person food minimum at all tables.  A bar menu is available at the lobby bar.

It has been said that it is almost impossible to separate which came first...Maceo or the funk. Maceo Parker has been a pioneer on the music scene since the early 60's with his start with James Brown, to his work with George Clinton, to more recent collaborations with Ani Difranco, James Taylor, De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band, Prince, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His nearly two decade long career with James Brown led to the King of Soul's coined phrase "Maceo, I want you to Blow!". His eclectic and successful career has helped him shape the new blend of funk, bombastic beats, jazz and soul that he tours with today.

“When people talk about legends they mean ‘they’re done, but boy did they do good’ when I think of Maceo Parker I think of legendary funk master and horn player, but not ‘legend’ in the term that he’s done. He’s still doing it. And that to me makes a really legendary person.” -Ani DiFranco.

"Parker talks with his sax, chatters away without a seeming care. It's a musical antidepressant, an antidote to dark days. ....firmed my belief that the world would be a better place if we all funked together." -San Diego Reader

"He's got the power to turn a small club into an inferno. That's the power of Maceo." -Chris Nixon, SignOnSanDiego.com
