Hailing from the Crescent City of New Orleans and growing up in the heart of its rich music scene, this funky sextet of friends got together in 2004 to jam. Since then they’ve grown into a high-energy live act, playing festivals like the Jazz & Heritage festival and the Voodoo Experience. Influenced by The Meters, Dr. John and Allen Toussaint, they debuted with “Pregnant With A Baby Called Funk” in 2008.
Collaborating with singer and multi-instrumentalist Ivan Neville, their new single is captivating from the very first 70s-styled wah-wah guitar chord. Dragging us into their kinetic, funkalicious musical world, it’s the mighty beat, spirited keys and possessed-by-the-funk-Gods vocals that turns this insatiable slice of retro-dipped sonic power into a ferocious and high-octane soul-funk groove.

Born in Atlanta as Amanda Gunnels, this singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist always had a passion for music. She began classical piano lessons at a young age, but now also plays bass, guitar and drums. She attended Musicians Institute in Los Angeles and has had songs featured on The Young And The Restless. Inspired by Sara Bareilles, Larkin Poe and Haim, she debuted with her self-titled EP in 2012.
Conveying the message that you don’t have to wait start achieving your dreams, her new single empowers you to not let anything stop you from reaching your goal. Wrapping her words in an infectious blend of folk, Americana and pop, which is slightly reminiscent of 90s female songwriters, it’s the crisp guitars and her multi-level vocals that make this tune sound joyful and timeless.
