North Carolina-based rock band Big Something gave a new meaning to high energy Thursday night in Benton Harbor.

As a 4/20 concert to benefit the Benton Harbor Parks Department kicked into high gear at The Livery, a thunderstorm rolling up the lakeshore could be seen lighting up the venue’s windows throughout the performance.

Watch as lightning puts on a show in the venue’s window at the top left at the beginning of the video, and keep watching for a taste of why Big Something is t̶o̶k̶i̶n̶g̶  taking festivals and venues across the country by storm.

In addition to a portion of proceeds going to local parks, the concert served as a kickoff party to this weekend’s Funk Fest, which brings more funky music along with special beer releases and funky food specials.

Flexadecibel from Muskegon will headline Friday’s festivities on stage, while popular Grateful Dead Tribute band The Happy Campers will debut original material in addition to performing a set of Grateful Dead dance numbers to keep the party funking Saturday night.
