Description

Monophonics' sound, a unique blend of old school soul/funk and rare groove, began in the summer of 2005 when drummer Austin Bohlman was asked to bring together "The funkiest dudes you know" to open for the legendary jam band, Vinyl at San Francisco's historic Boom Boom Room. Since then, Monophonics have quickly evolved into one of hottest upcoming live instrumental funk bands in the Bay Area. Recognized for their retro sound, style, and approach (primarily inspired by late 60's and early 70's artists like The Meters, The J.B.'s, The Crusaders, and Tower of Power) members of Monophonics continue to rep. the name through performances, sit-ins, and collaborations with local and touring acts in The Bay Area. The Monophonic Horns have performed with Russell Batiste and his Orchestra from Da Hood (members of Galactic, Papa Grows Funk, The Funky Meters) and recorded for Eric Krasno (Soulive/Lettuce).
