Fayetteville After 5 Gets Funky by JENNIFER TAFT Grab your favorite lawn chair and get ready, Fayetteville. Big Rick & The Bombers will hit the stage for Fayetteville After 5 on June 20. The theme this month is Funk and the line up is sure to deliver a rockin' good time. Based out of Raleigh, Big Rick & The Bombers have been together more than 16 years. They began as a blues band, but needed to start making money, so they began playing Top 40 hits. The group was nominated as best wedding band by The Knot magazine from 2008 — 2013. They have played at weddings all over the country including Boston, Key West and San Francisco. The band's musical style can be described as everything from Top 40 to beach to R&B, rock, jazz and everything in between. Concert goers can expect a well-executed performance with some twists and turns. The group's name comes from the World War II airplane, the B52 bomber. " We are just dropping musical bombs all over the place," said band member Rick Nunez. After Fayetteville After 5, look for Big Rick & The Bombers at some of their favorite Raleigh spots, including 42nd Street Oyster Bar, Tony's Oyster Bar, The Big Easy and Yancy's. Nunez said, "I want to thank everyone out there for the continued support throughout the years. We love you guys."
