With a solid groove and a horn section, What The Funk is carving out a reputation as one of the Maritime’s premier party bands

Formed in May 2011, WTFunk pays homage to funk, R&B and Soul as an 8-piece dance machine that pumps out classics and soon-to-be classics from the world’s most well known and celebrated artists. The sounds of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Tower of Power, Adele, Bruno Mars and Ce-Lo Green among many others are represented by powerhouse vocals, a funky rhythm core and a three-piece horn section. Starting as a house band on the club scene, WTFunk quickly rose to notoriety playing weddings, corporate parties, fundraisers and cultural events all over New Brunswick. What is the secret to the band’s early success? Dynamic, energetic, great music that gets people to the dance floor and keeps them there with an ever evolving repertoire. WTFunk carefully crafts its song list to appeal to music and dance lovers alike--age is irrelevant. If “movin’’ to the groovin” is your goal, WTfunk is the band for the choosin’’!

 

"They have consistently delivered professional, high-energy, entertaining performances that have had the dance floor packed and guests wanting more. They are an incredibly skilled group of musicians and conduct themselves in a very professional manner."

“They perform at my venue, Peppers Pub in Saint John NB on a regular basis and have proven to be an amazing live act with the know how to bring in a crowd. We see them perform about 8 times a year, each time bringing in audiences from 150 and up. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.”
