THE HEARD
The Heard is a dirty, glowing machine, turning heads coast to coast by delivering fierce, passionate performances of its own brand of funk that are deep and remarkably tight, yet dripping with an arresting rawness. Armed with pocket for days and a luminous presence, The Heard's mission is to share its unforgettable on-stage party and love with each and every ear hole and retina. The band's music, forged from blood and sweat in Chicago with a reverence for all that a legendary funk party entails, features powerful horn melodies served up with precision and swagger over a slamming foundation of lock-step drums and bass, hot, driving guitar, and tasteful keyboard work. In The Heard's hometown of Chicago, the group cut its teeth delivering hard hitting performances at some of the city's top venues - the beloved aliveOne, Metro Chicago, Lincoln Hall, Concord Music Hall, and Congress Theater. The band has backed hip hop artist Lyrics Born, former Galactic vocalist Theryl "Houseman" DeClouet, and has shared stages across the U.S. with The New Mastersounds, Lettuce, The Nth Power, Dumpstaphunk, Orgone, The Motet, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Slightly Stoopid, The Funky Meters, and George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, to name a few. Batten down the hatches and take in the sails, have ya Heard?

BUMPUS performing The Meters + more!
Bumpus and their powerful brand of soul music channels the uplifting energy of Sly & the Family Stone, the energy of James Brown and the reflective cool of Marvin Gaye. Lead by singers James Johnston, Ava Fain and Tina Howell, they bring together funky big beats, deep bass, lush JB Horns and a heavy organ sound that results in a high-octane musical funk frenzy.
