KENT – The Water Street Tavern in downtown Kent is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style – with a FREE, live show on Sunday, February 20th featuring Rock n’ Roll Hall Of Famer George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. Doors open to the public at 8:00 pm. Space is limited, so plan to get there early. The event is co-sponsored by KentApartments.com and Miller Lite.

Mike Beder, the award-winning establishment’s owner, couldn’t be happier about Clinton & P-Funk headlining the bar’s 10 year celebration. “It’s been a great 10 years and I wanted to throw a party worthy of all the business has given me, and George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic is the perfect act.”

He added, “They’re the ultimate party band that’s spanned generations. Their song catalog is legendary and the beats, hooks, and riffs found in those songs are the basis for tons of the hits students hear on the radio, or I should say, their iPods, today.”

The Water Street Tavern (then “Glory Days”) opened in January of 2001 and was named Playboy’s College Bar of the Month in their first year. In 2003, Water Street Tavern was born when the bar moved down Water Street to its current location. In 2008 Water Street Tavern expanded into the adjacent property and added a 3rd bar, a critically acclaimed full service kitchen (Cajun Dave’s), a stage for live music, and a rooftop patio.
