Giving birth to one of the more unique bands that have evolved in the world funk scene. In the back, stands a killer tight rhythm section that can make mountains move. A mean brass section, that shines on every beat. And in the front, a pure entertainer who takes the audience on a journey with his velvet sound voice and mega charismatic appearance.
