The Funky Knuckles

Personnel: Wes Stephenson - Bass Cedric Moore - Drums Phill Aelony/Ethan Ditthardt - Guitar Ben Bohorquez - Saxophone Evan Weiss - Trumpet Kwinton Gray - Keyboards Bio: The Funky Knuckles belong to a new generation of improvising musicians, challenging the constraints of genre, while never losing sight of the groove. This is not your typical funk band... or jam band... or jazz band. The Funky Knuckles are something different entirely. This is the improvised music of the new generation, and it is continuously being re-defined, even as it is performed. In recent years, Texas has gained a reputation as a hotbed for groove-oriented improvised music, and The Funky Knuckles have been a part of that movement for over a decade. It is a common occurrence to hear world-class musicians sitting in at their weekly residency in Dallas, and band members can be seen as sidemen with Janet Jackson, Stanley Clarke, and Larry Carlton. - NOTE: Tickets at the door.
