If Funk music has a Holy Trinity, James Brown would be the Father, Sly Stone the son, and George Clinton one freaky Holy Spirit. So many funk bands today have forsaken the sanctity of “The One” for the watered-down version of the old stand-by. Oakland Bay Area-based unit “True Funk Soldiers” delivers raw, in the pocket grooves, that harkens back to the 70’s glory days of ass shaking without resorting to slavish imitation.
Band leader Kenny James has an extensive musical background, having played with Ska and Funk bands on both coasts in addition to gathering a number of composer/musical director credits for work in television and theater. His deep love for Funk music and his desire to fill the void in local scene created by the demise of similarly minded bands led James to form True Funk Soldiers.
Kenny is joined by guitarist Chris Mulhauser, guitarist Roy Lettiere, lead vocal Doc Robinson, and an auxiliary cast of Bay Area musicians. The group covers some of the most popular funk songs from the ‘70s. True Funk Soldiers’ P-Funk flavored vibe has satisfied numerous crowds all over the Bay Area.
