Shelter Fest 2017 is a concert to benefit To Our House and United Way of the New River Valley.

Bringing hip-swinging, booty-shaking funk to southwest VA! Formed in 2010, Badunkafunk has brought their infectious brand of Blue Ridge Thunderfunk to festival and Cclub stages throughout the region. Ezra Ford delivers the soul vocals, while Jeremy "J-Boogie" Hagy on guitar and Matt "Duke" Lucas on the sax rip out some sweet melodies. Ryan Gross pounds out the beat and Allen Canterbury thumps the low end to make you move that bottom!
