Funk and soul band Brother Strut (pictured above) make a return to The Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, next month.
Composed of some of the finest and funkiest musicians around, including two members of Jamiroquai the band is inspired by funk, blues and American soul music of the 1960’s and ‘70’s.
They have honed their talents on some of the world’s most prestigious stages alongside an array of musical icons – from Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Madonna to Sting, George Michael, Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner, to name but a few.
Guitarist Rob Harris joined Jamiroquai in 1999, playing and co-writing their albums, “Funk Odyssey”, “Dynamite”, “Rock Dust Light Star” and “Automaton”.
Bassist Paul Turner joined Jamiroquai in 2005 and has also played or recorded with Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, Bryan Ferry, Tom Jones and George Michael. Rob and Paul continue to co-write, record and perform live with Jamiroquai to this day.
Brother Strut’s first album entered the UK iTunes chart at number 2 and Craig Charles playlisted it on his BBC6 Music Funk and Soul Show. The band’s upcoming album, featuring guests Cory Wong, Elkie Brooks and John Thirkell is set to drop in 2023.
They pride themselves on their ability to deliver barnstorming live shows with their funk-flavoured repertoire, irresistible groove and infectious charisma, they never fail to fill the dance floor.
Support comes from Suffolk’s own groovy funksters, Stretch Soul Gang.
