    Displace plays Blueberry Patch in Gulfport, Florida on February 24, 2018.
    Darryl Quesenberry was an icon in the Bay area jam scene. Better known as Funky D (or Animal), fans and friend rallied around him numerous times as he battled health issues, including the colon cancer which eventually took his life in 2020.

    Funky D was 54, and his memory is the driver behind a scholarship awarded by the Blueberry Patch to a promising young musician. Proceeds from this matinee where the 2024 recipient will be announced go back into the scholarship fund that bears Funky D’s name.


    A $10 donation will be collected at the door of the Funky D scholarship jam at Blueberry Patch in Gulfport on Saturday, July 20. [event-1] Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
