Afrofunk Experience

These purveyors of original Afrobeat, Reggae and Funk music are dance
floor veterans, with current and former members of Spearhead,
Afrolicious, Katdelic and Broun Fellinis among them. They will get you
moving with their funky rhythms, draw you in with their soulful singing,
and carry you away with their spirit-filled solos.

Guitarist/Singer David
James (Spearhead, The Coup, Beth Custer) brings his sinewy style to
counter the funk-metal stylings of lead guitarist Ken House (H.P. Riot).
The precise funk-rock drumming of Paul
Olipant (Afrolicious, Will Magid Trio) with Wendell Rand's (Afrolicious,
Tracorum, Youssoupha Sidibe) muscular dance grooves keep the band
tight, while saxophonist David Boyce (Broun Fellinis, The Supplicants)
and trombonist Alan Williams (Manicato, Katdelic) wail, their horns
producing a sound that encompasses outward-bound jazz, classic reggae,
afrobeat and R&B. Percussionist B. Lee thickens and adds flavor to
the mix, and on top of all this, recent addition Sandy House adds her
sultry voice and powerful stage presence.
