Michael Hampton Legendary Guitarist With Parliament-Funkadelic Exclusive!

 “Today, we welcome a guitarist whose story feels almost too legendary to be real. Michael Hampton — the young phenom who walked into the Parliament‑Funkadelic galaxy at just seventeen and instantly became part of its gravitational pull. A Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, a torchbearer of the Mothership, and the man behind some of the most transcendent guitar moments in funk history.From the cosmic chaos of the P‑Funk stage to the spiritual electricity of his ‘Maggot Brain’ performances, Hampton has always played like he’s channeling something bigger — something ancient, futuristic, and deeply human all at once.Today, we dive into the journey of a quiet giant whose guitar has spoken louder than words for nearly five decades. Michael Hampton… welcome to the show.” PURCHASEA founding father of power-funk electric guitar MICHAEL HAMPTON‘INTO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN’AThttps://michaelhampton.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-public-domain-2Bandcamp “Electric Psychedelic Guitar Fusion with a Funk Pulse That Never Stops Beating...This record is a mesmerizing swirl of electric psychedelic guitar fusion, stitched together with the unmistakable funk DNA that made Hampton a pillar of the Parliament/Funkadelic universe. But what’s striking here is how personal the music feels. There’s no need for vocals; the guitar does all the speaking, testifying, and time traveling.” ...By Music Journalist Ray Shasho5 starsMichael Hampton--Lead GuitarPhilip Samuel Smith--Rhythm GuitarPhil Keaggy--Guest Lead GuitarJohn Schreffler--Pedal Steel GuitarMatt Lesser--DrumsMike Labombard—Saxophone FOR MORE INFORMATIONABOUTMICHAEL HAMPTONVISIThttps://www.tiktok.com/@ma_wa_haTikTokhttps://www.instagram.com/michaelwhampton/Instagramhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5rhBe5DqUbACYzqerQa9R0Spotifyhttps://www.facebook.com/p/Michael-Hampton-100040199001670/Facebookhttps://www.youtube.com/@MaWaHaYouTubehttps://georgeclinton.com/George Clinton Official Sitehttps://www.facebook.com/georgeclintonpfunkGeorge Clinton Facebook UPCOMINGGEORGE CLINTONPARLIAMENT-FUNKADELICSHOWSSat, APR 11The PFunk Festival 2026Tallahassee, FLApr. 25 - 26, 2026Austin Blues Festival 2026Austin, TXMay. 21 - 24, 2026Jacksonville Jazz Festival 2026Jacksonville, FLSun, MAY 24Hollywood Casino Joliet FUNKADELICDISCOGRAPHYFunkadelic (1970)Free Your Mind... and Your Ass Will Follow (1970)Maggot Brain (1971)America Eats Its Young (1972)Cosmic Slop (1973)Standing on the Verge of Getting It On (1974)Let's Take It to the Stage (1975)Tales of Kidd Funkadelic (1976)Hardcore Jollies (1976)One Nation Under a Groove (1978)Uncle Jam Wants You (1979)Connections & Disconnections (1980)The Electric Spanking of War Babies (1981)By Way of the Drum (2007)First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate (2014) PARLIAMENTDISCOGRAPHYOsmium (1970)Up for the Down Stroke (1974)Chocolate City (1975)Mothership Connection (1975)The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein (1976)Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome (1977)Motor Booty Affair (1978)Gloryhallastoopid (1979)Trombipulation (1980)Medicaid Fraud Dogg (2018) Notable songs"Maggot Brain" (Funkadelic), 1971"Up for the Down Stroke" (Parliament), 1974"Chocolate City" (Parliament), 1975"P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" (Parliament), 1975"Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)" (Parliament), 1976"Do That Stuff" (Parliament), 1976"I'd Rather Be With You" (Bootsy's Rubber Band), 1976"Bop Gun (Endangered Species)" (Parliament), 1977"Funkentelechy" (Parliament), 1978"The Pinocchio Theory" (Bootsy's Rubber Band), 1977"Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)" (Parliament), 1978"Bootzilla" (Bootsy's Rubber Band), 1978"Flash Light" (Parliament), 1978"One Nation Under a Groove" (Funkadelic), 1978"(Not Just) Knee Deep" (Funkadelic), 1979"The Electric Spanking of War Babies" (Funkadelic), 1981  Support us on PayPal!
