Transforming Entertainment: Funch to Headline Dance Parties at The Room in Cedar Grove
Lewes, Delaware – In a remarkable shift from the traditional arts venue model, The Room at Cedar Grove is poised to redefine entertainment in the region with a series of vibrant dance parties featuring the international artist Funch. This innovative initiative, spearheaded by the nonprofit organization Paul Kares, will begin on June 11 and continue bi-weekly through October 1.
Historically celebrated for its intimate concerts and listening-room formats, The Room at Cedar Grove typically hosts events where patrons enjoy performances seated at assigned tables, savoring the culinary offerings alongside their musical experience. However, the management, recognizing a desire among audiences for more interactive and engaging events, is venturing into a new realm of entertainment that encourages attendees to let loose and dance.
Funch, an accomplished performer with extensive experience entertaining luxury cruise ship passengers worldwide, combines his talents as a keyboardist, bassist, and vocalist to create a compelling blend of genres, including pop, blues, soul, and jazz standards. His unique style and engaging stage presence have garnered him a dedicated following, and fans can expect a lively atmosphere at these upcoming dance parties.
Gary Parkes, a renowned entertainment agent based in London, emphasized Funch’s exceptional talent, stating, “My agency has booked Funch for over 20 years in Dubai, Europe, and all around the world. He is amazing. His voice, personality, and presentation make him the perfect entertainer—nobody does it better than Funch.”
The dance parties at The Room will ensure ample space for patrons to showcase their moves, creating an inviting environment for both seasoned dancers and those who may simply enjoy moving to the rhythm. Tickets are reasonably priced at and include a casual buffet featuring an array of options such as pizzas, fresh salads, bruschetta, and desserts, ensuring attendees can indulge their palette while they revel in the music.
The scheduled dates for this exciting series are June 11, June 25, July 9, July 23, August 6, August 20, September 3, September 17, and October 1. Each event will provide a unique opportunity to experience Funch’s artistry live while simultaneously supporting a good cause. All net proceeds from these events will benefit Paul Kares, an organization dedicated to supporting young performing and culinary artists. Since its inception in 2021, Paul Kares has awarded over ,000 to individuals, groups, and educational institutions, fostering the next generation of talent in the arts and culinary fields.

Additionally, aspiring performers and culinary artists are encouraged to explore grant opportunities provided by the organization, helping to pave the way for new talent to emerge in the local scene.
The introduction of dance parties at The Room not only enhances the entertainment landscape in Lewes but also establishes a community-centric approach to the arts, where social interaction and artistic expression converge.
