The Funk Junkies

July 23, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Not all FUNK is created equal. A beat with no syncopation, a bass with no grooooooooove, vocals with no soul – leave the listener with a severe case of Honky-Pox. We recommend a soul vaccination administered painlessly by The Funk Junkies.

Founding members Rich Fracassi, Jim Verdi, Tommy Rausch, Joe Marian , Jason Miller and other regular guests – Gennaro Esposito/Guitar, Neil (Nail) Alexander/Keys, Pito Castillo/Percussion, Joey Ray/Lead Vocals, are specialists when laying down the Funk.

This thirteen piece funk orchestra, includes a five piece horn section, and delivers their versions of music by Tower of Power, James Brown, The Ohio Players, Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Average White Band, Sly & the Family Stone, Chaka Kahn, Montel Jordan, Prince, and more!
Check them out to cure what ails you. A “Funky Good Time” will show up on your test results!

Featuring:
Rich Fracassi Bass/ Vocals, Jim Verdi/Drums, Tommy Rausch/Guitar/Bass/Vocals, Joe Mariani/Tenor Sax, Jason Miller/Trombone and the rest of the gang!
