Basically, take all the greasy old school funk and soul between the years of 1965 and 1975, throw in a pinch of afrobeat, add a touch of rock, and a hint of electronics and you'll have a defunkalicious sky hi melting pot of influences.
Murfreesboro's premier funk and soul group have been busy in the studio laying down tracks and mixing their upcoming release "The Business Kit." Tight horn lines, gutbucket bass and beats, super fly guitars, rocking keys, and the fabulous vocal stylings of the one and only DeRobert take you higher than high. They get you were you wanna go!
Sky Hi is a diverse group of musicians based in the Murfreesboro, TN area which specializes in quality funk, groove, and soul music. The band consists of drums, bass, guitar, lead and backing vocals, vintage keys and synths, and an alto and tenor horn section. Supplemental players can include percussion, turntables, additional horns, and other guests.
These fellas are skilled instrumentalists, vocalists, producers, writers, scholars of soul, and all around professional nice guys. The band regularly performs throughout the Southeast, laying down deep funky grooves for folks from the coast to the mountain tops. For booking shows, festivals, or parties contact the band here on myspace, and check out our Electronic Press Kit and website!
Have a funky, funky day!
P.S. We love to get comments, but only display the ones that are personal, related to the funk, or otherwise meaningful. So save the internet and keep your "thanks for the add's" and "do you like me's" to yourself ok?
Yo SkyHiasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
