Mothersfonk
What better way to start the weekend than with the hardest grooves, banging beats and sparkling solos? Mothersfonk makes themselves heard: straight, without frills, with raw, high-energy, groovy tunes. From tiny clubs to giant stages, they always make it a party!
Mothersfonk is the Netherlands’ new funk sensation. The eight-member formation from Rotterdam brings a rousing mix of funk and hip-hop, characterised by deep pocket grooves interspersed with tight breaks and virtuoso solo work. Inspired by the ‘godfather of soul’, they give funk, their own interpretation and contemporary sound.
The band members have each individually gained experience in diverse performing bands and collaborations with household names such as Joseph Bowie (Defunkt), Shirma Rouse, Fred Wesley, Jamal Thomas Band (drummer Maceo Parker), Focus, Living blues experience, Miko Weaver (guitarist Prince), Nile Rodgers Tribute Band and Loïs Lane.
