Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is home to a super band that has been cranking out great funk, psychedelic rock, blues, and jam, all built upon the sacred steel tradition. Sam Robinson formed his Marvelous Funkshun back in 2014, and since then the band has delighted music fans throughout the South with dynamic live music.
In addition to Robinson’s dynamic playing and vocals, the music focuses around the incredible pedal steel guitar playing of Durell Randolph, who follows in that amazing sacred steel tradition. You probably know his famous uncle (yes, Robert).
For this fabulous new EP Instru-Mental, the band included Will Bagley on bass, Zach Landon on drums, and David Fulford on keyboards. Especially Hammond B3. It was recorded at Earthtones Studio in Greensboro. The band wrote all of the tunes except The Meters’ beloved “Look-A Py Py.”
“Beanie” has been in regular setlist rotation for years and gets a well-deserved treatment here. “Three is the Key” was released in January as a single.
Do yourself a favor and dive right in! We’re already looking forward to part two!
