TheSweatband

Hailing from the purple city, Minneapolis, MN, The Sweatband gladly takes part in the revolution to keep the funk rock Minneapolis sound alive and well, something that one of their influences Prince helped create. Founded by smooth jazz saxophonist turned funk rocker, Danny Q, the band features a super group of all Minnesota-based musicians, they’ll quickly have your body moving and your head beading with sweat with their combination of feel good funk, heavy grooves and high-voltage rock n’ roll with just the right amount of throwback (chucks, track suit and tape desk not required but strongly recommended). Sweatband Funk debuted at world renowned Minneapolis venue First Ave on the main stage, opening for bluegrass band, KindCountry, completely captivating the packed house and leaving them literally shouting for more (“funk me hard!” – man in the front row). The group is planning on releasing their debut album in late 2019.
