The Funky Neighbors are a 3 piece, Jazz influenced instrumental band based in Los Angeles. The band consists of keyboardist Damon “Super Day” Wilson, drummer Terrence “Smoke” Huggins and bassist Stevie “G Roofa” Martin. The Funky Neighbors sound developed via a series of Friday night jam sessions in keyboardist Super Day’s garage. In that informal setting with a few friends over and one microphone hanging from the rafters of the garage….when heads nodded, it was time to push play. The original music that flowed out of those Friday sessions synthesized elements of Jazz, Hip-Hop, Go-Go and Funk, organically placing the Neighbors is the stylistic orbit of bands like Herbie Hancock’s Head Hunters and The Roots. The Funky Neighbors are a tight live unit of experienced, talented players who have been in service as backing musicians for a myriad of artist including George Clinton, The RZA and others. The Funky Neighbors bridge the gap between Jazz, Hip Hop and BeBop to keep the tradition of original music created and played by real musicians alive.
