Funk Shui
Canberra, ACT

Formed in early 2003, FUNK SHUI is a 10-piece old school funk band that has quickly established itself as Canberra’s premier funk ensemble. First performing live in August 2003, their blend of tight old school grooves and live show has infected even the stiffest of audiences at venues including Toast, the Church Bar (formerly the Aree Bar), and Garema Place. FUNK SHUI was also the featured house band for the NCA January 2004 series of films (Moonlight Movies) at Stage ’88 in Commonwealth Park and has performed gigs for charities including the RSPCA and AIDS Awareness Week.

The ten members represent a wealth of musical talent and experience, bringing together established members of the Canberra music scene and those in the Canberra School of Music Jazz program. Female & male vocals combine with trumpet, saxophone, and trombone to front a five-piece rhythm section of keyboards, guitar, percussion, bass and traps. Together they bring you their own special brand of original funk flavoured with the spices of the old school masters James Brown, The Meters, The Commodores, Maceo Parker and Tower of Power, funk-inspired classics of Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire.
