The EARFUL Nominated for Best Jazz Artist 2013 at the San Diego Music Awards, The Earful, formed in late 2008, is a high-powered, in your face, shake your booty machine that will funk you just right. The band touches on various styles of the funk in all of its forms and pays tribute to the masters. Having shared the stage with amazing talent such as Soulive, Level 42, Groundation, Orgone, The Aggrolites and Les Nubians, they bring a paint peeling, barn-burning intensity that is unforgettable. The Earful features members of The Mars Volta, The Devastators, and B-Side Players. With heavy sound from the Hammond Organ, funky bass lines and stabbing brass hits, this 7 piece all-star lineup is sure to get your rump bumpin’. The Earful is: Brian Teel (Hammond Organ, Clavinet, Synthesizer, Vocals) Adrián Terrazas-González (Saxophone, Vocals) Tim “Figg” Newton (Drums) Omar López (Bass) Ricky Giordano (Guitar, Vocals) Roy Brown (Trombone, Vocals) Eric Hartwell (Percussion) “The Earful delivered a high energy performance that got the party started right. The band’s 2011 Funk for Your Earhole LP draws on the usual suspects of funk influences like James Brown, P-Funk, the Meters, and local king of funk Karl Denson. The Hammond organ is heavily featured, but the band also brings a tight rhythm section and an ace horn section that elevated one jam after another. There are plenty of funk bands vying for attention these days, and energy is ultimately what tends to separate the contenders from the pretenders. The Earful brought it, and the enthusiastic crowd reflected it back.” – Greg M. Schwartz of Pop Matters, Feb. 2014 Nominated for Best Jazz Artist 2013 in the San Diego Music Awards, The Earful is the funkiest up-and-coming sound our West Coast breeze can stand to carry. A reverberation of Teel’s Hammond organ mixed into the energetic beat held by Tim “Figg” Newton on drums produced a sweet, fertile field where the rest of the crew felt free to play with the sort of improvisation all great funk is born from. -The UCSD Guardian, May 2014
