From the Northwest United States, a region long known for producing energetic and fresh musical talent, blazes the Emerald City's latest sensation. Seattle's own DoctorfunK.
DoctorfunK was established in 1995 and has set the standard for new soul music in the Pacific Northwest. Echoing the legendary passion of famed horn band Tower of Power and that "Bay Area Sound," this 10-piece ensemble has maintained the tradition and more.
With their first national release, "Prescription for Soul." on the Oakland-based label, Strokeland Records, DoctorfunK joins other standouts such as Glenn Waters and Fred Ross, as well as Doc Kupka's own Strokeland Superband.
"Prescription for Soul." contains sophisticated arrangements handled by a seasoned, tight, five piece horn ensemble, with powerful vocals and an extremely well "greased" rhythm section. All combine to deliver the deepest of grooves and smoothest of ballads.
DoctorfunK is poised for a place in all of our CD collections of the finest in soul and funk music. Listen for them on your local radio stations and watch for upcoming performances in your area as well.
Old School in the New Millennium is here to stay. So if music is your medicine, make an appointment with DoctorfunK for your "Prescription for Soul."

Hi Doctorfunk, I had some spare time (for a change) and thought I'd revisit some of my friends whom I hadn't seen for a while. Just to bring back to mind why I added them in the first place. ...... OH YEAH!! you guys sound great. Now I remember. Sorry I haven't been around for a while.
Thanks for adding me! Say 'hi' to Alexey, for me and give him my thanks, once again for playing on my most recent project, 'Only Love' and for his wonderful playing at Jazz Alley.
My best to all of you for a wonderful holiday season!
