Drawing inspiration from classics such as the Headhunters, the Yellowjackets, and the Brecker Brothers, as well as more modern outings such as Chris Potter’s Underground, Faux Pas Funk melds jazz-fusion with classic funk, contemporary neo-soul, and a drop of prog-rock to serve up a delectable melange of infectious grooves, intricate forms, and melodic pyrotechnics. Featuring all-original and purely instrumental compositions, Faux Pas Funk has brought its signature recipe to a wide range of performances, headlining break-dancing competitions, underground showcases, and nouveau hippie festivals. Comprised of some of the most talented musicians Manitoba has to offer, Faux Pas Funk’s unique mind-melting concoctions are sure to take any audience by storm.
