Funky Dory

www.funkydory.ca

From Website

Funky Dory has been on the go in St. John's since 2001. It's changed shape and members a couple of times since then, and the current lineup is brand new, but as funky as ever. The focus has also evolved, but has always kept a funky groove as its base. Probably the most well known influences currently include Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power, Rufus, James Brown, Jamiroquai, Average White Band and Kool and the Gang. More obscure influences include Nils Landgren, the Pocket Dwellers, Ceux Qui Marchent Debout, Bela Fleck and Jaco Pastorius. Add a sprinkling of K-Os, Cake and Jurassic 5 and you have one of the most diverse acts around, while keeping a dance crowd happy. The band performs original material as well.

In Stock

Saw these guys at The Barroom in Corner Brook - both nights actually. It's great to be able to look up and see some familiar faces. Members of The Idlers, Sean Panting Band, and Chris Kirby & The Marquee combined with some faces I didn't know equaled a night of funky dancing times. I hope they come back and play to a packed house next time - Corner Brook needs more funk!

Lucky for you, it has a little and it comes in CD form! I have 5 copies of Fists Of Funk (2007) available, so drop me a line to get your hands on one. How do you get in touch?
