There Ain't No Funk Like New Orleans Funk!
THE PROFILE
Formed in 2002, Funk 'n' Gumbo draws its music from the streets and clubs of The Crescent City, performing New Orleans funk, blues and zydeco music. They impart the infectious sounds and rhythms of their original songs as well as renditions of NOLA and Louisiana classics by The Neville Brothers, The Meters, Jon Cleary, Buckwheat Zydeco, Wayne Toups, Papa Grows Funk and more. Their excellent musicianship and rhythmic syncopation really makes the music very, very FONKY.
Performing at festivals, fairs, clubs and private & corporate events, the band has shared the bill with the legendary Little Feat, Marcia Ball, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Rebirth Brass Band, The Radiators and many more.
When you travel to New Orleans you know that you don't just visit... you drink it in… you absorb the ambience... you never forget the sights, the food and especially the sounds of New Orleans. Funk 'n' Gumbo likes to bring that New Orleans experience to every venue.
THE MUSIC
Blues, Jazz, Funk, Cajun and Zydeco are all popular musical styles in the Big Easy. With influences of African, Caribbean and Latin rhythms, New Orleans Funk has very deep grooves. As the saying goes, "There Ain't No Funk Like New Orleans Funk" and Funk 'n' Gumbo shows how it's done.
New Orleans Music is Party Music and Funk 'n' Gumbo plays New Orleans Music! Funk 'N' Gumbo brings the heart of the Crescent City to you with a musical fusion of New Orleans style funk, blues, jazz, gospel and zydeco. It's funky, danceable and fun! Funk 'n' Gumbo gains new fans at each performance as audiences show how much they love this music.
