"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!"
