The Funk Pack is a collective of some of the strongest musicians from the Cardiff and Bristol area. From soulful melodies to grooving rhythms, the Funk Pack has it all and will get the crowd dancing.
Taking inspiration from New Orleans Funk groups like Galactic, Dumpstaphunk and Trombone Shorty's Orleans Avenue, our original tunes are a mix of rich harmonies, syncopated rhythms, snappy licks and bold horns to move along with.
