Based out of St. Petersburg 

Florida, a 10 piece funk

powerhouse is quickly gaining

recognition. The band is 

composed of members from some 

of the bay area’s best Jam

Bands and has been described as 

a Funk Voltron as well as St. Pete’s 

own version of Turkuaz.

While the band is in their early 

stages, they’ve already begun 

making their mark with

appearances at Whippersnap 

Music & Arts Festival 2026 and 

back to back sold out

performances at the Dunedin 

Brewery (Moontower Stage) and 

Crowbar.

Their sound can be described as…

huge. 2 guitars, bass, drums, 

auxiliary percussion, keys, sax, 

trumpet, trombone and 

powerhouse vocals supported by 

3 members sharing lead vocal 

duties and offering 4 part 

harmonies.

Influenced heavily by the sounds 

of old & new school funk / rock 

artists, the band is rapidly adding 

original music while also 

performing an eclectic mix of 

covers that range from The 

Meters, Chicago, Tower of Power, 

Galactic, Lettuce, Heart, David 

Bowie, Curtis Mayfield, Little Feat, 

Aretha Franklin and more.

The band has plans to record their 

first studio album in early 2027.
