| Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Sonic Funk is a 12 piece horn-driven party machine that plays all the favorite chart busting hits by mega artists of the 70's and early 80's such as Michael Jackson, Kool & The Gang, KC & The Sunshine Band, Earth Wind & Fire, Rose Royce, The Trammps and more! No other group cover's the 70's & 80's Funk / Disco / R&B Era like Sonic Funk! That's because that is all we do! Rather than trying to cover 3 or 4 decades worth of material, we focus on what we do best! SFO is known for the dynamic sound of our horn section and the interplay between the contrasting vocals of D'Maurice's falsetto and David Booker's tenor. Tambri Trana and Lidia Ramos round out the multi-talented vocal section. If your are looking for a band that know's how to get the party started and make it last throughout the show, then look no further than the Sonic Funk Orchestra! 3 Time King 5 Evening Magazine Best of Western Washington top 5 winner for best local band and voted number 1 cover band by 253 Magazine and Journal Magazine! Some of the band's past performances have included the following : The Taste Of Tacoma The Bite Of Seattle The City of Seattle's NYE celebration 2006/2007... two years in a row! Tulalip Casino & Resort Wildhorse Casino & Resort Skagit Valley Casino & Resort Red Wind Casino 7 Cedars Casino Little Creek Casino & Resort Pike Place Market Sunset Supper Pacific Science Center Festival of the Fountains Tiffany Center Argosy Cruise Lines Enterprise Rent A Car City of Portland Lake Oswego Concert Series Hood River Amphitheatre And MANY more... As well as sharing the stage with Edgar Winter & KC & The Sunshine Band! Here is what others had to say about Sonic Funk: The Bee Gee's music from "Saturday Night Fever" has become an iconic representation of the mid-70's and the age of disco. But I flashed by the Commodores' "Brick House" the other day on the oldies station and had a more powerfully resonate 70's flashback - the funk riff on that thing was letter-perfect. I don't know if any member of the Sonic Funk Orchestra is dying a thousand deaths over his potty-mouthed daughter like Lionel Ritchie, but when these 12 cats get into a groove, it's pure motion potion. When they funnel Rick James and Kool & The Gang through their horn section and out via four singers ... girl, I'm lookin' for some love. Suzy Stump Weekly Volcano August 4th, 2005 edition Number 196 SONIC FUNK is HOT! That big bold funky horn sound took me straight to my era of the seventies!
