Arthur Funkarelli bands, Arthur Funkarelli has been cranking out high energy tunes for over ten years. Superior musicianship, excellent writing, four part vocal harmonies, dueling saxophones-these guys have it all! Fraser and Al Black, Al LeClerc, Ryan Jones, and Mike Ebe have an expansive sound - hard rock, funk, metal, soul, punk, but all unified with a signature, and very danceable sound. I’ve seen this band more than 20 times, and never left disappointed!
