Or, maybe you recall a not-so-different phrase that got you in trouble more than a few times in high school. Well, Mother Funk is here to redefine this notion.Mother Funk isn’t merely a blasé reference to a nostalgic music period or an immature play on words; Mother Funk is an evolution of funkadelic music infused with jam-based roots known for melting faces. Their unique musical approach has not only caught the attention of the media’s critical acclaim, but has also, more importantly, seen a substantial growing fanbase throughout the southeast, an area already saturated with jam band culture.Each member of Mother Funk brings a different set of emblematic influences and experience to the band that coalesces into a single live experience. Live shows often feature Phish-like deviations that twist and turn into an unexplored, yet familiar sonic aesthetic. Its in this uncharted, anomalous musical setting which serves as a home to Mother Funk. Ask for a set list after a show, and they just look at you. Set lists prevent what has come to define them: their jams. Trying to confine themselves to a set order of things restricts the organic nature of what Mother Funk is here to create.
