Foreside Funk

Foreside Funk is a horn-driven band built on groove, feel, and the kind of music that makes movement unavoidable. Tight horn lines lead the sound, drawing from funk, jazz-influenced R&B, and New Orleans traditions without turning any of it into a throwback act.

The band moves comfortably between vocal songs and instrumentals, leaning into classic funk language while keeping the energy current and alive. It’s music that values feel over polish, discipline over flash, and connection over spectacle.

Live, Foreside Funk sounds confident, physical, and unforced — a band that trusts the groove, listens hard, and lets the music do the work.

"Foreside Funk was the perfect addition to our Beer Garden event series! Live music is always an excellent addition to any event, but a band as excellent as Foreside Funk is a treat. They are lively, and incredibly professional with an amazing  brass section, that is hard to find. The band had people on their feet dancing the entire event. They have a mastery over classic funk to contemporary music, and will be a perfect addition to any event, from corporate functions to weddings, as long as you and your guests enjoy fun, then you’ll love Foreside Funk. They were a pleasure to work with and added to the success of our event!"
