I Feel Good: An Homage to James Brown

Sponsored by Stirrup Trouble Cocktail Lounge

The Springer Opera House brings the soul and funk to its annual Juneteenth celebration with I Feel Good: An Homage to James Brown — a high-energy tribute to the hardest working man in showbiz that will get you on your feet and keep you there!

Featuring the Godfather of Soul's greatest hits — "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine," "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," "Make It Funky," "Get on the Good Foot," "Get Up Offa That Thing" — and no tribute would be complete without Brown's iconic "I Feel Good," his highest-peaking single among an astonishing 91 entries on the Billboard Hot 100.

Leading the charge is Sterling McClary Baker, fresh off the Springer stage as the Tin Man in The Wiz and Seaweed J. Stubbs in Hairspray. With powerhouse vocals, magnetic stage presence, and a killer band behind him, this show promises nonstop rhythm, swagger, and pure soul energy from the first note to the final bow.

After the smash success of past Juneteenth celebrations, this year's show raises the bar — higher, funkier, and fresher than ever. Don't wait — tickets will go fast!

Two performances only: Saturday, June 20 | 7:00 pm Sunday, June 21 | 2:00 pm Emily Woodruff Hall (Springer Main Stage)
