Boogie With The Best of Crescent City Funk

BIG SAM’S FUNKY NATION, Friday, March 26. Click Here for SHOW LISTING

After supplying SXSW with some much needed rump shaking rhythm, Big Sam’s Funky Nation will hit Los Angeles and hold their CD release party for their fourth album “King of the Party” at The Mint! Join them and get your boogie on!

Big Sam’s Funky Nation is a driving force of urban funk. The band is led by trombone powerhouse, Big Sam Williams, formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who the San Francisco Chronicle calls “the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz.”

This is not a one man show, however; the members of the Funky Nation, a group of well trained and experienced musicians with impressive credentials of their own, meet the challenges of their funky band leader. BSFN masterfully combines a rock sensibility with improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that’s the hallmark of big band funk.
