Prepare yourself for an unapologetically funky gli

Prepare yourself for an unapologetically funky glimpse into our cover of 'Tell Me Something Good'! 🎶 Jona Kristinsson delivers powerhouse vocals that will blow you away, while Bob Moffatt works his magic on guitar, using a talk box to bring that extra layer of funk. Marc Hayes holds it down with basslines that groove deep, and Trevor Manuel keeps the rhythm alive and kicking on drums.

And yeah, you’ll notice I couldn’t help but get into it—bopping up and down because funk like this doesn’t let you sit still! 🎷🎸🥁

Crank up the volume, let the groove move you, and drop us some love in the comments! 🔥✨ #funkyvibes #tellmesomethinggood #talkbox #livemusic #grooveon
