his incredible London-based 6-piece is led by Austrian bassist Stefan Redtenbacher who draws his inspiration from Jazz, Funk and Soul. Stefan has established himself as the UK’s groove bass player of choice for many artists, with a list of musicians with whom he has worked including Steve Winwood, Sam Brown, Herb Alpert and Danny Gottlieb. Plus his own recordings feature “Jazz/funk” legends Fred Wesley (Parliament, James Brown) and Elliot Randall (Steely Dan). The band, formed in 2005, will tonight feature Paul Jordanous on trumpet, Rob Fowler on sax and Eran Kendler on guitar. The Funkestra’s name pretty accurately describes the high energy feel of the music as this band performs original funky grooves with an authority and style that is hard to beat. Their shows, which always include a regular Guest Vocalist, will tonight feature the wonderful Ana Gracey. The band is highly entertaining, with tremendous musicianship applied to some amazing music. A guaranteed good night out!
