THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FUNK AND SOUL BAND PLAY THE FACTORY LIVE
Brother Strut, the critically acclaimed funk and soul band, is a collective of musicians who have accumulated over half-a-billion sales in their individual music careers. From performing with icons like Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder to Sting and Amy Winehouse, these talented musicians have honed their skills on the world's biggest stages.
Founded by Stevie Jones, Brother Strut took the world with storm with their electrifying live performances and DIY approach with marketing. With only an iPhone and some Facebook ads, the band sold out KOKO twice in just two years, establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Composed of two members of Jamiroquai and some of the finest and funkiest musicians around, Brother Strut includes Paul Turner (bass), Frankie Tontoh (drums), Rob Harris (electric guitar), Sam Tanner (keys/ lead vocals), Karl Vanden Bossche (percussion), and Stevie Jones (saxophone/ keys).
Gaining notoriety for their "barnstorming" sets, Brother Strut's passion for live music has earned them a devoted following who seek real music in an increasingly corporate industry. The band's upcoming album, featuring guests Cory Wong, Elkie Brooks, and John Thirkell is set to drop throughout 2023.
As they celebrate their 10th anniversary, Brother Strut is gearing up for their return to the road, with a UK tour culminating in a legendary performance at KOKO for the third time. Get ready to experience the soulful sounds of Brother Strut, live and in person.
